Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Cast brooch in the form of a flower, floret or spray with five narrow leaves or buds springing from a stalk; a central round setting of diameter 4mm is now empty. The flat back retains paired lugs for a hinged pin, and the back of the stalk is grooved where a catch plate has been lost. The apparent respect dimensions to whole units of the metric system may suggest manufacture after 1800, and possibly a continental origin for the piece. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1820-1880.Length: 25.7mm, Width: 25.7mm, Thickness: 2mm. Weight: 3.16gms.
