Description: | A copper alloy medieval annular brooch dating to the period c. AD 1150 - 1400. The brooch is circular in plan and sub-circular in section with a small lip around the outer edge where the upper and lower plates have been joined to create the brooch. The brooch is formed of two plates joined at the seam and is hollow rather than being cast from a solid piece of metal. The brooch is decorated on both faces by an incised pattern of zig-zags which run around the lip. The rest of the brooch is plain. It features a sub-rectangular pin recess on the outer edge measuring 5.31mm in width and 1.68mm deep. The pin is wrapped around the bar and is worn at the tip. The pin measures 43.03mm in length (not including looped section), 41.8mm maximum width, 2.49mm minimum width and is 1.74mm thick. The brooch has a smooth green patina on one side, as does the pin, the opposite side is covered with an uneven coating of brown corrosion product.The brooch measures 48.79mm in diameter (internal diameter 30.31mm), is 6.58mm thick and weighs 12.76g.
