Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy brooch of Medieval date. It has an annular/openwork frame that is hexagonal in form, triangular in section, with flat back and faceted front face. Each side of the brooch has slightly concave edges giving the object the appearance of a six pointed star, with decoration on the front face comprising three transverse notches on each of the six sides. At one side is a small central rectangular pin constriction around which hinges an incomplete copper-alloy wire pin. The entire object measures 19.12mm in length, 21.59mm in width, 2.88mm in thickness, and 2.65g in weight.This is a copper-alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. It finds parallels in terms of form with a number of examples recorded through the PAS (e.g. NMS-6A3B21, LVPL-602C03Z or BH-BF3213) and is of probable later Medieval date, c.14th-15th centuries AD.
