Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. The brooch frame is plano-convex ('D' shaped) in section while the pin is sub-circular, tapering to a point at its terminus. The pin sits within a small recess where the frame has been deliberately made thinner, which holds it in place at a specific point. The brooch demonstrates a patchy green patina all over, and is in good condition. Two comparable examples (one missing its pin) can be found on the PAS database: PUBLIC-B55E71, and KENT-08343A. Egan and Pritchard also illustrate a comparable example within their publication (Egan and Pritchard 2002, pp. 248-254, no. 1307).Measurements;Diameter (mm): 20.50Frame thickness (mm): 2.2Pin length (mm): 19.70Weight (g): 2.5
