Description: | A complete copper-alloy pointed oval brooch of Medieval date.It is D-shaped in section with a flat back face. On the front face are four integrally cast conical collets, each with a central circular indentation, that would have held in place the now missing setting. In the centre is an integrally cast transverse bar. Still attached to the bar is a separately cast copper-alloy pin. It is flat, tapers to a point and has an open loop. There are traces of gilding on the front and back face.This brooch measures 27.46mm in length, 18.62mm in width, 6.11mm in thickness, 5.59g in weight.There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (WAW-E35DA1). However, no direct parallels could be found.
