Title
Medieval annular brooch with runic inscription
Description
English: A medieval brooch: the ring from a high-late medieval annular brooch. The brooch is formed from a single sheet of copper alloy, flat in section. The brooch has no pin slot, which suggests that dress material must have been pulled through the ring itself in order to hold the pin securely. Decoration is unusual; rather than featuring the common stamped or punched decoration, it features a runic inscription, and irregular geometric motifs. The surface does not preserve evidence of tinning. This, together with the unusual (and presumably purely decorative) runes, make a medieval rather than Anglo-Saxon date most likely, though it should be noted that brooches of similar form are well known grave finds from the period c. AD 550-700.
