Description: | Medieval copper alloy annular brooch of 13th to 16th century dateThe brooch is of flat, annular form, represented by the complete frame but missing the pin (with an external diameter of 20.4mm, an internal diameter of 13.5mm, a thickness of 1.0mm and a weight of 1.0g). There is a restriction on the frame for the missing pin (with a length of 2mm and a bar width of 1.0mm). One face of the frame is decorated with incised chevrons, in-filled with opposing rows of punched triangles. The outside edge is also enhanced with punched chevrons. The rear of the brooch is undecorated with file marks evident on the surface. The surface has a dark-grey patina.The brooch can be paralleled with an example, also decorated with chevrons found at Norwich (Margeson, no. 60, p 16) from an early 16th century context and examples from excavation in London (Egan & Pritchard, nos. 1313, 1318, p. 250-2) from late 13th to 15th century contexts.1.
