Description: | Incomplete cast copper-alloy pin fitting from a Medieval 'disc-on-pin' brooch (alternatively classified as circle-on-disc & 'disc-on-tongue' in other database records). The fitting consists of a flat lozenge-shaped (lozengiform) disc with two elongated projections, to form the pin point and hinge on opposing corners of the lozenge. The fold of the hinge is present but is twisted out of line, the point of the pin is also still present. The central disc has four circular rivet holes arranged in a lozenge, three rivets are still present but the fourth rivet hole is broken and the rivet missing. The rivets are sub-circular in section with domed tops. Further research is needed on this class of brooches to date them more precisely but the item is dated to between c.1200-1500. For more complete examples please see DUR-120CB6, NCL-7773A3, SF7957 & SUR-04AFF5.
