Description: | A cast, copper alloy, annular brooch dating from the medieval period, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is decorated with four equidistant raised square panels. The areas between the panels are domed and decorated with punched annulets. The design probably imitates gem set brooches such as SWYOR-1F4732. The frame is notched to house the pin which is also copper alloy and tapering, with a collar. The reverse of the frame is angled and there are traces of gilding on both faces. A similar example is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 253, no. 1333 from an unstratified context. The brooch is 17.4mm diameter, 2.55mm thick and 1.9g.
