An incomplete copper alloy medieval annular brooch, dating from c. AD 1350- 1400. The brooch is a flat circular hoop, with eight globular projections regularly spaced on the face of the brooch. The frame narrows between two of the projections, where the pin would have sat. This is now missing. On the opposite edge of the narrow section is a circular recess. The reverse is undecorated, and there are patches of white metal coating. The brooch has a light green patina, and measures 40.1mm by 39.5mm, 5.9mm in maximum thickness, and weighs 13.38g.

A sub-circular copper-alloy artefact, probably representing a Medieval open-frame brooch. The piece comprises a sub-circular frame which is of flat section, with an upper surface that slopes downwards and outwards. The surface is divided into segments by a series of raised, inward-pointing triangles, including two that flank a pin constriction. A white metal coating has been applied to each of these triangles, and the panels between are decorated by rows of small punchmarks. Width (max): 15.7mm; thickness: 1.6mm. Weight: 0.47g. Although this is almost certainly a brooch, ther…

A copper-alloy open-frame brooch, dating from the Medieval period. The slightly bent frame is circular, a series of angled grooves in the upper surface creating a ropework effect. There is a pin constriction but no trace of the pin itself. The underside of the frame is flat. Dimensions: 21.4mm diameter, 1mm thick. Weight: 0.88g.

A silver open-frame brooch of circular form. The bent frame has flat surfaces, applied to which are five of an original eight collets, all apparently empty. The spaces between the collets bear parallel lines of rolled or stamped decoration. The pin is attached via a hole in the frame and is complete. Openwork brooches with collets are a relatively common form of dress accessory during the 13th and 14th centuries - see examples from Meols, Cheshire (Griffiths et al. 2007: pl. 25).

A medieval silver annular brooch which is complete and with the pin intact. Traces of gilding evident on the brooch. The frame is circular in plan and in section. It is decorated with four evenly spaced globular collars, each of which is punched with small circular marks. The pin is cast and is circular in cross section, tapering to a point at the end. The loop round the frame is unusual because it is formed from two arms projecting from the pin, with a central break on the outside of the frame, rather than one arm which is bent round the frame leaving a small gap near the pin which i…
