A complete cast copper-alloy annular brooch dating to the Medieval period, c. 1200-1400. The brooch is composed of a sub-circular frame, a constriction on one edge retaining a wound-wire pin. The upper surface demonstrates eight raised collets, inset with alternately off-white stones and green glass inlays.
