Description: | A complete silver annular brooch probably dating to the medieval period.The object is circular in plan and is 5.11 mm wide. There is a plain plate on which ornate, openwork filigree is attached. The filigree takes the form of a foliate motif with spirals and pellets. There is a hole through the metal plate which holds the pin which is still in place. The pin is sub-triangular in shape with a narrow collar.The brooch is probably medieval in date and similar examples have been reported as treasure including SUSS-9A73C2 (2004-T234) which was suggested to date to the 13th century. There are later examples also recorded which are very similar and these include KENT-F4FA96 (2008-T256) which are dated to the 16th century.
