Description: | An incomplete Medieval cast copper alloy brooch pin. The pin is round in section and tapers towards the end. At the opposite end is the loop, which is where a medium sharp break is located. There are two raised ribs just before the loop, but the pin is otherwise undecorated. The condition is fair. It is covered in a green patina, but a very small amount of the original copper alloy metal does show through at the tapered end. The pin is incomplete and most likely came from an Annular brooch. Similar brooches may be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991) pg. 249, and on the database LEIC-74B334 and DENO-F397F5.The brooch pin is 44.82 mm long, 10.64 mm wide (max), 3.59 mm thick and weighs 3.44 g.
