Description: | A cast copper-alloy brooch of probable Medieval date, missing its pin due to old breaks. The frame is cross or quatrefoil shaped in form, D-shaped in section with flate back face and rounded front face. Each of the sides are concave/crescentic in form with oval shaped, beaded decoration at each end, the sides and ends separated by transverse grooves. One side has a rectangular constriction where the pin would have originally hinged, but this is now missing due to old breaks. The entire object has a green patina and measures 20.44mm in length, 20.94mm in width, 2.35mm in thickness and 2.15g in weight.This is a decorative brooch frame of probable Medieval date. It is similar in form to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1342) and recorded through the PAS (e.g. SWYOR-F9EEE2 or SF-CC7061). It is likely to date to the 13th or 14th centuries AD, if not a little later.
