Description: | A copper-alloy open-frame brooch of Medieval date.One side of the circular frame is plain and of oval section; the other side is of twisted cable design, each strand bearing ropework mouldings. The pin is attached at a constriction in the frame, its loop having been cast as a double-ended projection and then crimped. The pin has a moulded collar at the loop end, is of sub-square section and tapers to a point which rests on the inside of the frame. The corroded surfaces of the brooch retain traces of gilding. The object measures 26.1mm wide, 25.8mm high, 4.3mm thick and weighs 5.3g.Brooches of this style appear to be a product of the 13th to 14th century.
