Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy plate brooch of probable Medieval date. It is missing the outer edges of the pin lug, the pin and central setting due to old breaks. The plate is in the form of an eight petalled flower, or possibly a star/sun, with flat back face and moulded front face. At the centre of the front face is a circular boss with raised sides that contains the remains of a white solder that would originally have held in place a decorative setting, but this is now missing due to old breaks. On one side of the back face is an integral pin lug, missing its outer edges due to old breaks, with an integrally cast hooked catchplate on the opposite side. The entire object has a dark green patina and measures 21.65mm in length, 19.27mm in width, 3.94mm in thickness and 4.15g in weight.This is a decorative brooch, missing its central setting due to old breaks. It is of probable Medieval date, perhaps dating to the 14th or 15th centuries AD.
