BROOCH
Unique ID: SWYOR-09ACD3
Object type certainty: Certain

status: Awaiting validation 
A cast copper alloy annular brooch of Medieval date. The brooch frame is hexagonal and has six forward projecting conical collets. The frame is shaped to the collets. The collets are equally spaced and integral. The settings are empty but still contain a white paste (possibly calcium carbonate) which would have held a stone in place. A pin constriction survives between two of the collets but the pin is missing. The metal is a mid greenish-grey colour, suggesting a white metal coating. A similar brooch can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p249, Fig: 160. Compare also
YORYM-1924C6, NMS-566B13 and LIN-B66042.
