Description: | A cast copper alloy annular brooch dating from the medieval period. The brooch is decorated with six equidistant raised square panels that are decorated with multiple punched annulets. In between these panels are another six smaller, rounder and undecorated panels. 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. There are traces of gilding retained. A similar example is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard 1991, p. 253, no. 1333 from an unstratified context.
