Description: | Copper alloy Brooch fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast plate, probably of octagonal form with rounded corners, with a central circular or oval frame in low relief, possibly resembling a floral wreath. A border around this bears a series of angled ruled incised lines radiating from the frame. A central panel is featureless, and may have retained an image or keepsake. A small lug on the back presumably relates to pin gear, otherwise lost. This was probably made in a craft tradition rather than an industrial setting. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.Length: 25.1mm, Width: 21.4mm, Thickness : 1.8mm, Weight: 2.78gms.
