Title |
A cast copper alloy decorated annular brooch dating to the 13th/ 14th century AD. |
||
Description |
English: Copper-alloy annular brooch (diameter: 23.8mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 3.57g). The brooch has two collets at opposing sides, which project outwards by 5.5mm and taper to a narrower point at the ends. Both originally contained a stone or glass setting, but one is now empty and the other retains only the white adhesive used to fix the stone in place. In between these collets is a circular drilled hole flanked by a transverse moulding to either side. Opposite this hole is a slightly thickened area also flanked by a moulding to either side. It is unclear what these two further features were used for. There is no remains of a pin. Could the slightly thickened area along the edge be a pin rest, and the hole be designed to take the loop of the pin? The brooch is in a fair condition with general corrosion throughout, and has a green/ yellow patina. Brooches with collets are fairly common; there is an example from Norwich illustrated in Margeson (1993), fig. 7 no. 58, with six collared bosses set with blue glass pellets. This example was found in a context dated to 1275-1400 AD and compared by Margeson to one from a 13th-century context in Exeter (Margeson 1993, 15-16). |
