Description: | A silver gilt annular brooch of probable Medieval date. The frame is rectangular in section but very thin at just 0.69mm thick. It has a constriction for the pin. The frame was probably cut from sheet rather than being cast. The front is decorated with an outer border of shot radial lines, and an inner border of a wavy line round the inner edge. Only the loop of the pin survives. This is also very delicate and is made from silver. Another annular brooch, but thicker and with a different design, is SWYOR-D7AEC5 (2010 T729) which dates from the 13th or 14th century. A similar date is suggested for this example.Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
