Description: | A silver open-frame brooch, circular in plan, with four equally-spaced knops (separately cast and sleeved on) around its circumference. The pin is of flattened-oval section, tapering towards a wedge-shaped point, located beneath the frame's underside. A plain collar separates the shaft from the loop, the latter of which has been cast as two tabs, which have been crimped around the frame. The pin slides freely between two adjacent knops, there being no constriction or opposing rest.Dimensions: 32.1mm diameter, 4.2mm thick. Weight: 5.97g.A parallel for this brooch was found in a late 14th century context in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 254/fig. 163, no. 1330).This brooch fulfils the criteria of Treasure under section C6 of the 1996 Treasure Act, being over 300 years old and containing in excess of 10% silver.
