Copper-alloy hooked annular buckle or brooch with twisted wire decoration. The function of this artefact is obscure. It was possibly used in the manner of a brooch, with the hook used as an attachment to something else, possibly holding a chain or pendant vertically. Helen Geake adds: although there is no image of this object, the description copies part of the description from the annular brooch illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991) no. 1338, from an early 15th-century context in London.
