A small copper-alloy hexagonal annular brooch frame of medieval date (c. 14th century AD). The flat frame has a hexagonal opening; the frame is c. 3.6mm across. An external notch provided the pin constriction; the pin is missing and there is no pin rest (groove). The frame is decorated on its upper surface with a single row of pellets set within sunken rectangular strips; some begin to travel off the edge of the frame. The metal has corroded to a dark-grey colour, with some off-white corrosion product. Brooches with this decoration and of a comparable size have been recorded on this database, e.g. refs. SF-4E4121, BERK-CA6CA5. Similar decorative treatment can be seen on brooches of other form, for example lozengiform (cf. HAMP-E6AAF6) on this database; this also has an external notch.<\/p>","notes":null,"old_findID":"HAMP-1F68F2","id":"478657","objecttype":"BROOCH","classification":"annular","subclass":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2011-12-21 15:09:06","broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","updated":"2011-12-22 12:02:00","treasureID":null,"secwfstage":"4","secuid":"PAS4EF1F68F001479","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"1","datefound1":null,"datefound2":"2011-11-02","createdBy":"195","curr_loc":null,"inscription":null,"reason":null,"subsequentAction":"Returned to finder"}],"record":[{"id":"478657","old_findID":"HAMP-1F68F2","uniqueID":"PAS4EF1F68F001479","objecttype":"BROOCH","classification":"annular","subclass":null,"length":"21.9","height":null,"width":"19.65","thickness":"1.5","diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":"E3207","treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","numdate1":"1300","numdate2":"1400","description":"
