Description: | A corroded Medieval cast copper alloy annular brooch. The circular frame of the brooch is made up of short moulded segments around its perimeter separated by ten evenly spaced transverse grooves. The frame narrows to take the pin which is complete. The pin extends across the frame and protrudes slightly beyond the outer edge, terminating in a sharp point. The pin and the brooch frame are sub-rectangular in cross-section with the corners rounded. The brooch is 26.3mm in diameter, 2.6mm thick and weighs 3.42g. It is green in colour with corroded patches of bare copper alloy showing through. Similar brooches are decribed and illustrated in Egan, Dress Accessories (1991) p248-251and are dated by ceramic association to circa 1250-circa 1350.
