Description: | A fragment from a large, broadly circular annular brooch of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The fragment consists of about a third of the frame. It has two sets of three clustered collets. Between the sets of collets the frame is flat and sub-oval in plan. On its upper surface the frame is decorated with longitudinal rows of prick marks. The collets are filled with a white corroded substance, perhaps a paste. Although bent and twisted dramatically twice the brooch's metal survives well, with a largely dark-grey patina.A similar fragment has been recorded on this database from the Isle of Wight (ref. IOW-29FE21), with a direct parallel from Yorkshire recorded in Hattatt (2000, 383; ref. 1346). Sufficient of this latter survives to suggest that the complete brooch would have had six clusters of three collets.
