A medieval silver-gilt annular brooch dating between 1200 and 1300AD. The section is D-shaped and the back of the brooch is formed from a separate flat section, into which the decorated section has been set. The rim of the brooch has been delicately filed to create a cog wheel effect. The decoration on the front of the brooch is a raised filigree and pellet design of foliage. The pin is complete and is attached to the brooch through a hole pierced through the ring. Very similar to SUSS-9A73C2 (2004 T234) PAS-960287 )(2008T588) and SUR-664262 (2013T489) except that it has a cogged surround to the disc. See also TAR 2004 No. 143 (2004 T137).
The external diameter is 28mm, internal diameter 17mm, length of pin 25mm, thickness 3mm and the weight 5.04g
