Description: | A copper alloy annular brooch dating to the medieval period. The brooch is complete retaining the copper alloy pin (measuring 21.42mm in length), still located within its constriction on the bar; the brooch itself is flat and bears an inscription on the upper surface. The inscription appears nonsensical but may be attempting to imitate religious inscriptions which are often seen on brooches of this period. Similar brooches can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991) p 254 nos 1336-1337. These examples have been dated to the middle to late 14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
