Between each of the settings is a double transverse row of pellets. The pin is intact and seperately cast. It is roughly triangular in shape and has a transverse ridge where the loop meets the shaft and tapers to a point. The reverse is slightly concave and undecorated. Both faces of the brooch have traces of gilding.The brooch is c. 1300-1400 in date and is similar to other brooches from the period, for example from Mildenhall, Suffolk (2004 T176) (Treasure Annual Report 2004, p 95, no 145) and Firle, East Sussex (2004 T275) (Treasure Annual Report 2004, p95, no 147).The precious metal content of this object fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10 %.
