| Title |
A cast copper alloy brooch, dating between AD 1250-1350. |
||
| Description |
English: A complete cast copper alloy annular brooch (diameter: 28.7mm; thickness: 5.8mm; weight: 4.65g) with copper alloy pin still attached, which is looped a narrow but deep constriction along the frame. The pin is slightly bent to one side and tapers to at a rounded point at the other end, where is no obvious indentation to support the end around the frame. The frame is simply decorated a series of slight constrictions at certain segments around the circumference. The underside of the brooch is slightly rounded with no decoration. Overall, the brooch is worn but in a fair condition with a dark green patina. There is more extensive corrosion around the frame near the pin on the upper decorated face. Similar examples are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard’s ‘Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London’, 1991, pages 248-252, particularly ref no 1311, which dates between c.1270 – c.1350. The distinction between plain annular brooches and plain circular-frame buckles is not immediately clear. Plain annular and other open frames in which the pins are attached to a constriction at one point can be classified as brooches, while those with the pin free to move around the entire circumference of the frame are described as buckles (Egan & Pritchard, 1991, page 248). |
