Description: | An incomplete copper alloy annular brooch of medieval date. The brooch has a rectangular sectioned curving frame. Creases on the inside of the frame suggest the original brooch was made up of several short sides forming a geometric shape. This fragment has two projecting collets, both filled with a white paste. No settings survive. Both collets are roughly the same height and both terminate at a sloping angle.The curving frame is broken at both ends and the break is worn. The metal has a dark green patina with some flecks of lighter material showing small nicks or damage. There is soil remaining in a groove which runs around the outer surface of the frame. The paste in one collet has soil stains whereas the other is bright white.This fragment measures 22.11mm x 10.70mm x 4.05mm. It weighs 3.28g.A very similar fragment has also been recorded from Yorkshire, see YORYM-CE5726. For more complete examples of these brooches see SWYOR-1F1413 and published examples in Egan and Pritchard 2002, page 257-258.
