Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch of medieval date. All that remains of the brooch is a fragment of the frame however due to the condition of the brooch it is difficult to estimate the degree of loss. The pin also no longer remains. Positioned centrally on the frame fragment is a tall, hollow collet which is infilled with an undetermined white material. The frame extends outward from the collet and is decorated to one side with incised cross-hatching and to the other side with horizontal lines. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The breaks on the frame are worn.The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is slightly worn. The object is 22.9mm long, 19.7mm wide, 1.1mm thick and weighs 1.6g.A similar example can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p.254, fig.164, no.1335.
