Description: | A silver medieval brooch treasure case..A complete Medieval silver annular brooch. The frame is flat and decorated with an incised pattern forming nine zigzags, with a constriction for a pin. The pin is triangular in section with a triangular-shaped collar and a tapering length terminating in a point, where the pin is damaged. The pin is decorated with a worn zigzag pattern. The reverse of the brooch is plain.Due to the small nature of the brooch, it is likely that it was used purely for decorative purposes. The annular brooch with incised zigzag pattern is a type of which there are numerous examples. See, for instance, the fragments at IOW-0B04E6, also SF-EEED52 and SUSS-078248 (2005 T126).The brooch dates from the 13th-15th century.Dimensions: diameter 12.9 mm, depth 0.7 mm, length of pin 14.9 mm
