Description: | Medieval silver gilt lozengiform brooch. There are two equally spaced decorated knops along each of the four sides with others positioned at three out of the four corners. The fourth corner is bridged by the pin restriction and is flanked on either side by single additional knops, making thirteen in total. The front surface of each knop is decorated with a pattern of pellets usually consisting of a central pellet surrounded by four to six others, thus resembling a flower head. The sides and knops are semi-circular in cross-section. The slender triangular pin loops around the corner restriction in the frame. Adjacent to the loop end of the pin there is a moulded double collar. Substantial traces of gilt remain on both surfaces. The reverse side of the brooch is flat. Circa 13th-14th century.
