Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy object, probably a Medieval annular brooch or buckle, c. AD 1250-1450. The remains of the object consist of the curved frame which has been distorted from in situ damage; on the outer edge of the frame is a notch for the pin-end. The frame is rectangular in cross-section with one broken end more degraded than the other due to corrosion and damage. The outer surface of the frame has been decorated with what originally seemed to be incised lettering but has been determined to be slightly varied incised V shapes, or a repetitive 'AVE' design. This example is significantly larger than those more typical to this period and its original shape has been distorted; it is missing approximately a third of its body and the pin, including a possible pin notch on the frame which would have confirmed its identification as a brooch rather than a buckle.
