Description: | A Medieval silver gilt annular brooch dating from the 13th or 14th century. The brooch has a circular frame which is rectangular in section. The upper face is decorated with tiny raised dots, each within an annulet. There is a plain border on each side of the frame and traces of gilding on the front. There is a constriction for the pin. This is also silver and is bent round the bar to form a loop. There is a plain raised collar near the loop, then the pin tapers to a point. Similar brooches include WMID-5F8F13 (2009 T180), IOW-747B18 (2007 T243) and LIN-0F8F88 (2006 T609), though none have the same design as this example. Dimensions: Thickness: 2.75 mm; Weight: 1.01 g; Diameter: 15.6 mm In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
