Description: | A flat curving silver gilt brooch or buckle frame decorated with three raised circles of twisted wire encircling a domed pellet. A fourth circle has an inner circle instead of a domed pellet. Small pellets fill the marginal spaces inside the edge border, between each circle. The reverse is undecorated. Each end is slightly distorted and broken. There are no traces of a pin or bar.The design is reminiscent of the 1500-1600 decorated pin heads [see IOW-930A63, 2013T82] and so may date from a similar period.In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
