Description: | Medieval copper alloy brooch pinThe pin is complete (with a length of 34.7mm and a weight of 2.7g) but the frame is not present. The loop is cast and closed (with a width of 7.1mm and an internal diameter of 4.6mm). Beneath the loop is a decorative rib, enhanced with notches. The pin has a collar at the top of the shaft (6.7mm diameter). The shaft appears to have been of sub-lozenge section and is widest near the loop (4.8mm maximum width), gradually narrowing to the tip. The surface is heavily-corroded with a brown-green corrosion.It is difficult to identify a brooch typologically from a pin but the brooch form is often associated with annular brooch frames of 13th or 14th century date.
