Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy annular brooch with six moulded collets as settings, each with the remains of the white paste used as fixative for the stones inside them, now missing, alternating with six vertical cylinders tapering to a point. The pin is missing but part of the attachment loop remains on the inside edge of the frame, which the wire pin would have been looped through.Griffiths, Philpott & Egan (2007) illustrate similar examples with collets alternating with projections from the frame, on page 143, Plate 25, Nos.1723 & 1728, which are dated to the Later Medieval period.Read (2001) illustrates a similar annular brooch from Dorset with eight collets containing white paste and a circular perforation for the pin, on page 108, Fig.68, No.782, which is dated to the 13th century.Williams (2001) illustrates an annular brooch from Surrey with six raised settings, on page 325, Fig.10, No.84, which is dated to the 14th century.Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 383, Fig.242, No.1717, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.
