Description: | A gilded copper alloy Medieval annular brooch dating form about AD 1200 - 1400. Only about a third of the circular frame survives. The brooch has a circular sectioned frame and is decorated with evenly spaced bulbous knops of which three are present, each of which is decorated with rows of beading. Also present are two separately cast lozenge shaped panels bearing foliate-style decoration of eight petalled flowers on the upper surface. These panels mounted on the top of the frame, positioned alternately with the knops. The frame is broken across the constricted area where the pin would have been attached, and at the side of one of the knops. There are traces of gilding on the frame, knops and flowers. The brooch fragment is 39.3mm long, 15.3mm wide and 4.5mm thick. 3.04g. A very similar example but in silver is YORYM-4055F2 which cites NMS-6F2494 (2014T131), NMS-D8B8F2 (2011T21), LIN-7B8826 (2013 T468) and LIN-E8F3D0 (2012 T294).
