Description: | An incomplete, cast silver annular brooch, c. 1200-1400. Approximately ½ of the brooch remains, though this has been bent. The hoop is rectangular in section and (when complete) was circular in plan. What remains of the hoop bears evidence of 'tearing' of the metal at one end, presumably from bending, while the opposite end of the remains indicates a much cleaner break across the narrowed thickness of the pin restriction. Both faces of the brooch are decorated. Once face bears stylized panels of slightly raised dogs on a sunken field with raised outer edges forming the border. On the opposite face, an uncertain inscription was formed by slightly raised letters on a sunken field with raised outer edges. The style of decoration, lettering, and form suggests a 13th-14th century date. A fragment of a silver annular brooch of the Medieval period.
