Description: | Copper alloy and iron possible Brooch fragment. Cast plate comprising a series of linked discs, possibly each with tiny central aperture, with a curved element between two projecting discs, possibly a decorative swag if this identification is sustained. There are possible traces of relict gilding on one side, and adhering rust. The rust at the ends forms small lumps, one bent to one side, and may be the relict of iron or steel pin gear. If jewellery, this is considered likely to come from cheap costume jewellery.An entirely different identification is possible: perhaps as a chain from a mechanism. The date, however, would be similar. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1825-1900.Length: 25.0mm, Width: 8.7mm, Thickness (clear of rust blobs): 2.1mm, Weight: 1.07gms
