Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch. A simple, undecorated D sectioned frame with a constriction where the missing pin would have been attached, The frame is slightly irregular in places as a consequence of wear and corrosion. Thre are some patches of the original surface, but most has gone. There is a slight notch opposite the constriction, which may be the pin rest. The back is flat and undecorated. This has been assigned as a brooch in line with Geoff Egan's convention as outlined in Medieval Dress Accessories, p248, i.e. that annular frames with constrictions or holes are identified as brooches, those without are defined as buckles.Date: Medieval - 13th to 14th centuryDimensions: 27.31 mm x 26.59 mm x 2.75 mmWeight: 3.56 g
