Title
Medieval silver gilt ring brooch, twisted cable design, side view.
Description
English: Medieval silver gilt ring brooch. The pin moves freely. Slightly distorted. Length 22.0mm, width 15.2mm, thickness 1.4mm, length of pin 19.66mm, weight 0.81g.

Treasure Report:

Description: Ring brooch of gilded silver, originally circular now slightly distorted. Made of square sectioned wire twisted to give a cable effect, with each face decorated with two rows of opposed punched triangles separated by a fine ridge. There is a constriction to take the tapering sheet pin.

Discussion: A similar brooch, although decorated with two rows of punched lozenges rather than triangles, is published in Treasure Annual Report 2000 no.120 (Morley, Norfolk); it is dated to the 13th century. These are comparable to the twisted cable brooches decorated with pellets, dated to the 13th or 14th century, which have been reported on in previous Treasure Annual Reports.

Dimensions: Diameter 20mm approx, thickness 1.4mm, weight 0.81g.
