BROOCH

Unique ID: WMID757

Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow status: Published Find published

The item is a flat copper alloy fragment which is possibly a fragment of a circle. On the upper face of the fragment there is a small sub-rectangular indentation. In this area on the reverse there is a small lug protruding at right-angles to the reverse face. The lug has a small indentation along its edge. This maybe the remains of a hole in the lug. Around this possible hole is traces of iron corrosion. The iron could be the remains of an iron pin.
