Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. Approximately half of the circular frame survives, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.It is curvilinear and D-shaped in section. Four integrally cast conical collets survive, each with a central circular indentation that would have held in place the now missing setting. Between the collets is a rectangular ridge. There are the remains of a rectangular pin constriction. There are traces of gilding on the front face. The back face is flat and undecorated.This brooch measures 30.88mm in diameter, 4.13mm in width, 5.06mm in thickness, 3.44g in weight.There is a similar example from Norwich (Margeson, 1993, p.14, no. 58) and recorded on the PAS database (SF-8E1197), (SF-BD9DC6), (SF-E73D12).
