Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy openwork badge in the form of the Annunciation (the Angel Gabriel announcing to Mary she is to bear God's son). On the back of the central part of the badge is a short attachment loop. The figures stand on a ground line and there is a line linking them at the top. Between them is a branch or small palm with a copper alloy loop on the back of it. The edges and front are integral to the figures and the back is flat with slightly concave areas under the thicker parts of the design. The loop is formed of a circular sectioned integrally cast spike bent over 180 degrees to meet the back.WILT-5366C8 and SUSS-2C4845 on this database are good parallels.
