Description: | Copper alloy annular brooch. A tiny brooch which can only have fastened the flimsiest of gauze, and must therefore be associated with feminine attire, probably a veil. A cast circular round section band with a notch to retain a sharply pointed pin which is looped around it. Both frame and pin retain traces of gilding. The finder kindly cites G. Bailey Buttons and Fasteners, page 108 as supporting a medieval date. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1350.Diameter: 10.0mm, Thickness of band: 1.1mm, Weight: 0.20gms.
