Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy annular brooch with pin and traces of gilding. It measures 24.35x23.57mm 'in diameter' (internal 19.31x19.16mm) and weighs 2.17g.The brooch is missing almost all its original patina. The frame is circular in cross-section, half twisted in cable pattern to one side of the pin constriction and traces of punched dots on alternating twists. The untwisted half is undecorated although gilding survives on both halves, and particularly well on the reverse of the pin.The pin is sheet copper alloy and loops around the frame, narrowing from 1.91x1.44mm below the loop to 0.95mm in diameter at the point.Cf. Egan (1991), fig.160, no.1310 (from a context dated c.1230-60).
