Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1400) copper alloy annular brooch missing its pin and its seven circular settings. It measures 18.68mm in diameter (internal 11.05mm) and weighs 2.5g.The brooch frame is triangular in cross-section, being flat to the underside (with a constriction for the missing pin) and a sloping inside edge. At the top of the frame fourteen triangular grooves are cut at regular intervals, creating turrets or collets between. The seven empty holes (c.2.5mm in diameter, c.1.5mm deep) for the settings are arranged equidistantly around this edge. The outside edge is also slightly sloping, with a vertical groove running down from the triangular groove in the top.Evidence of 'turret' or 'collet' brooches from excavated examples in Meols mentioned by Griffiths et al. (2007, p.144) appears to suggest a mid 13th to 14th century date for this type of brooch.
