One side of the frame is decorated with a repeated incised lozenge motif, inside and outside the lozenges is decorated with a repeated incised ring pattern. On the other side the frame has an inscription readin…

A flat curving silver gilt brooch or buckle frame decorated with three raised circles of twisted wire encircling a domed pellet. A fourth circle has an inner circle instead of a domed pellet. Small pellets fill the marginal spaces inside the edge border, between each circle. The reverse is undecorated. Each end is slightly distorted and broken. There are no traces of a pin or bar. The design is reminiscent of the 1500-1600 decorated pin heads [see IOW-930A63, 2013T82] and so may date from a similar period. In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious meta…

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). This find qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age a…

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…
