Complete cast copper alloy Medieval annular brooch. The brooch was gilded and patches of this remain on the upper surface. There was possibly some grooved decoration but this is unclear due to wear and corrosion. The pin has a circular loop which was cast integrally and has a moulded collar decoration. The pin has a sub-square cross section and narrows to a sharp point.
