Description: | A Medieval copper alloy brooch dating AD 1270-1350. The object is annular, flat on the underside and slightly rounded on the outer surface. There is a rounded projection at on end and a pointed projection at the opposite end. The pin sits in the frame, running perpendicular to the decorative elements. The pin is formed from a strip of copper alloy, tapering at one end, which has been wrapped around the frame. The object has a mid-dark green patina.There is a similar object published in egan and Pritchard (1991, 254-5, no. 1335), which is late 13th-early 14th century in date. The published example has more clearly visible decorative features, including a glass or stone setting in the rounded projection. Due to the state of this object it is not clear whether it has identical decorative features. However, based on the style it is clearly of a similar date.Dimensions: diameter: 19.49 mm; thickness: 5.36 mm; weight: 3.34g.Reference: Egan, G and Pritchard, F. 1991. Dress Accessories. London: HMSO.
