Description: | A worn and incomplete copper alloy and iron annular brooch dating to the medieval period. The brooch has six copper alloy collets set equidistantly around its upper face. Between the collets are two rows of simple punched decoration. Corrosion has made it difficult to discern to fill of the collets - two appear to be filled with iron although this is likely to be a product of corrosion rather than a fill. Other brooches of this type have collets filled with glass (uncommonly) or a white paste (commonly). The pin is retained but corroded to the inside of the brooch. This brooch is unusual as it appears to be made mostly from iron rather than copper. However its type is well documented and many examples are recorded on this database. This style of brooch dates from c. AD 1200-1350.
