Description: | A small, cast copper-alloy annular brooch of medieval date (c. 13th century AD), now missing its pin. It has bevelled sides on its upper surface which, given a broadly flat lower surface gives it a triangular cross-section. The lower surface is slightly bevelled internally with some diagonal file marks on the main surface. The pin constriction is formed through a recess notched to each side and thinned. The upper surface is decorated with seven evenly spaced drilled blind holes, similar to brooch illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 251; ref. 1317), which has six. It is very similar to a brooch recorded on this database, ref. BERK-271E50. This too has deep internal grooves between the holes, and corresponding external grooves with, generally speaking, two further grooves between giving the external edge a segmented appearance. These external grooves extend into notches on the upper surface of the brooch. The brooch survives well, with minimal damage, and now has a dark-grey patina.
