Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy brooch of Medieval date. It has an oval shaped openwork/annular frame that is D-shaped in section with flat back and rounded front face. At the centre of each side the front face has a single oval shaped collet, missing any original settings due to old breaks. Each end of the frame has a bifuricated projecting terminal, one of which has a narrow pin constriction and bar, the opposite one with a slight groove forming the pin rest. The pin is missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 27.60mm in length, 21.34mm in width, 2.88mm in thicknes (at collets, 1.90mm at frame), and 1.98g in weight. This is a brooch frame of Medieval date. It finds parallels in a brooch with similar collets, although with slightly differing frame shape, from Winchester (Biddle, 1990: no. 2025) and is of probable c.14th century AD date.
