Description: | A complete copper alloy annular brooch of medieval date. The brooch is circular in plan and section with a narrow constriction for the pin. The pin remains looped around the constriction and has a circular section. Two further constrictions are present at opposing points on the frame. The object is undecorated.The metal has a mid greenish-brown patina and is worn. The object is 24.6mm in diameter, 3.4mm wide, 4.5mm thick and weighs 6.1g.Egan and Pritchard (p.64-65) state that "a constriction on a single frame to limit the movement of the pin is generally an indication of a brooch rather than a buckle" therefore suggesting this example is a brooch.
