Description: | A medieval silver annular brooch. The frame is sub-circular in plan and has a thin rectangular cross-section. There is a cut-out bar for the attachment of a pin, now lost. On the upper surface there is an inscription that appears to read; CLLA DON MARIA (P)LENIA, which is probably a blundered version of the prayer 'AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENIA DOMINUS TECUM' (Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee), or similar. This type of brooch was popular during the 13th and 14th centuries AD.
