Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. It is missing the pin due to old breaks. The frame is flat, annular in form and with six evenly spaced collets. Between each collet the outer edges of the frame have triangular projections, one of which has a circular aperture that served as pin hole, missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The collets contain a white substance/solder that would have held in place the now missing settings. The back face of the brooch is flat and undecorated and all exterior surfaces have extensive toolmarks. The entire object measures 22.36mm in diameter, 4.09mm in thickness, and weighs 2.62g.This brooch is of Medieval date with a similar example noted from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 58). This indicates a 13th to 14th century AD date for the current brooch.
