Description: | An incomplete and now somewhat straightened Medieval (1200-1400) silver-gilt annular brooch, consisting of about three quarters of the frame and missing the pin and at least one appliqué decoration. It measures 88.72mm in length and weighs 5.33g.The frame is square in cross-section at either broken end, measuring c.2.5x2.5mm. Both these breaks are at either end of decoratively twisted section of the frame, each face of which further decorated with a double line of triangular punches. The third section (between) is D-shaped in cross section (2.70x2.30mm) and plain, with a (now bent) appliqué octofoil (12.07mm in diameter) covering the end of the twisted section (on the flat side of the D-section).Gilding survives on the octofoil appliqué and on the twisted sections of the frame. The frame is presumably missing a plain section and three additional octofoils (there is a scar at the other end of the plain section).Katie Hinds
