Description: | Medieval copper alloy annular brooch of 12th to 14th century dateThe brooch is complete (with a weight of 5.5g) and comprises an open annular frame (of 28.8mm external diameter and 21.5mm internal diameter) with a separate pin. The frame is of lozenge section (with a width of 3.8mm and a thickness of 3.1mm). The frame has a constriction slot to secure the pin and there is the suggestion of mouldings either side of the slot. There is no surviving evidence for a notch on the opposite side of the frame. The pin (with a length of 27.2mm) has a rectangular-sectioned head flaring to a collar moulding before the circular-sectioned shaft, which gradually tapers to the tip. The original surface of the brooch has been lost and no decoration survives; the current surface is pale green and brown.
