Description: | A nearly complete cast copper-alloy Medieval annular brooch of probable 13th-mid 15th century date. The brooch is nearly complete, consisting of a large annular frame, with a notch to facilitate the rotation and fixing of the pin. The frame is decorated on the outer face with a series of six raised 'brambled' hemispherical bosses, which are flanked on either side with small raised collars. The bosses themselves are further decorated with a haphazard covering annulet pattern, unlike other examples which are decorated with cross-hatching (e.g. PAS record HAMP-2D07C2). Nearly intact, the pin has an oval loop with a small collar below the loop and tapers to a point, now missing; the pin is sub-oval in cross section throughout. It measures 36.1 mm in diameter, 3 mm thick and weighs 9.4 grams. A similar example is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 253, no. 1333 from an unstratified context.
