Description: | An incomplete, Medieval C13-15th, cast, copper alloy, medium size ring or annular brooch but minus the pin. Plain, relatively wide frame of circular cross-section with a narrowed restriction for the missing pin to wrap around but no opposite corresponding lug smaller pin notch. This base metal type would have been used on garments possibly woollen of the lower classes rather than nobility, possibly worn at the neck for fastening the undergarment. Slightly irregular matt pale green corroded surface with a few small patches of verdigris. This is likely to date to 1200-1499. Ref.
