Unique ID: NMS-14C084

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Medieval silver brooch with annular frame and D-sectioned pin set within a constriction. One half of the hoop is plain and of rectangular cross-section. The other half is twisted cable fashion and all four faces are decorated with a line of closely spaced pellets. On the pin there is a transverse rib or grip near the loop.

External diameter 16.5mm. Internal diameter 14mm. Weight 0.74g.

13th - 14th century.
