Description: | A sub-circular copper-alloy artefact, probably representing a Medieval open-frame brooch.The piece comprises a sub-circular frame which is of flat section, with an upper surface that slopes downwards and outwards. The surface is divided into segments by a series of raised, inward-pointing triangles, including two that flank a pin constriction. A white metal coating has been applied to each of these triangles, and the panels between are decorated by rows of small punchmarks.Width (max): 15.7mm; thickness: 1.6mm. Weight: 0.47g.Although this is almost certainly a brooch, there is a possibility that it may be a pendent loop (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: Fig. 138). The decorative style suggests a 13th to 14th century date.
