Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Medieval annular brooch (1200-1400) with some white enamel (probably) decoration remaining but missing its pin. It measures 18.69x17.99mm with an internal diameter of c.13mm. Weighs 1.16g.The frame is hexagonal in shape with a circular boss at four of the points while a fifth is expanded and circular in shape but flattened (pin-rest) and a sixth constricted (with a moulding to either side), for the pin. These latter two points are diametrically opposed. The two bosses closest to the constriction retain traces of a white substance, presumably a form of decayed enamel. The remaining two bosses have lost their settings.The underside of the brooch is flat and rounded at the edges.
