Possibly a Victorian copper-alloy brooch, pin and spring coils missing. It was possibly worn as a choker on the front part of a high-necked collar (?). The basic shape is that of a Maltese cross; a rectangular-cut gemstone was set in the centre of the brooch, but it is missing today. It was not of very high quality.

A late Post Medieval to early Modern silver or white metal penannular brooch. Overall it is an open circle in plan and the pin is missing. Punched leaf decoration to all elements of the artefact and no evidence of a hallmark.

Possibly an Arts & Crafts or Gothic Revival inspired object that was never intended for sale so never assayed. Dates from c1850 to c1940 AD. Approximate dimensions are diameter 55mm, thickness 7mm, and weight 25g. The weight may incl…

Probably the fragment of a cast copper alloy brooch or buckle pin dating from the late medieval or late post-medieval period, i.e. c. AD1200-1700. The pin is flat and has a rectangular cross-section which suggests that it is a buckle pin rather than a brooch pin which are usually circular in cross-section. The very end of the pin looks broken but worn so it may have carried some damage in antiquity already. The other side is bent into a loop, but half of it is broken off, which is probably how it was lost.

The hole for the pin has been crudely punched from the back of the brooch, the end of the pin is looped through this to secure it. The pin is pointed at the termination. The brooch is plain apart from a mark punched into the back that may be a hallmark or initials - shown in the inset of the image. It looks like a very elaborate I or L, and H, or possibly W and D. …
