Description: | A copper alloy Medieval or Post-Medieval brooch fragment. It may be part of an annular or penannular brooch, consisting of a curving part of the brooch, oval in section with a lozenge-shaped terminal. The terminal is flat, 3.45mm in thickness and decorated on one side with a series of parallel grooves and ridges, the outer rows having short transverse lines. The arm of the brooch measures 4.73mm in width adjacent to the terminal, and broadens to 5.86mm at the opposite, incomplete terminal. Overal it measures 41.81mm in length, the lozenge being 10.69mm in length and width, and weighs 5.54g.Whilst a parallel has not been seen, there are similarities with a brooch from Medieval Norwich, which is annular with three applied lozenges of similar shape and size, and coming from a fifteenth century context.
