Description: | An incomplete copper alloy (and enamel) medieval annular brooch. Only around one third of the original hoop survives. This has a small, circular, integral loop at one side with a small, circular raised collet, each containing white enamel, to either side. The head of a simple wire pin remains in situ through this loop. Roughly one quarter of the way around the hoop from this is a raised oval with a small circular collet in the centre. This collet is now empty, but may also have contained enamel originally. The metal is now in poor condition - highly pitted and corroded.Margeson (1993, 15, plate.V, no.58) illustrates a similar example, also with enamelled collets, from excavations in Norwich, which was found in a context dated to AD 1275-1400.Length: 28.41mm, width: 15.40mm, thickness: 6.44mm, weight: 3.86g
