Sheet copper alloy brooch in the form of a violin with a pressed front plate and a flat back plate so that it is hollow inside. There is a hinge on the back plate which still retains its spindle which would have held the pin. The pin would have been clasped at the opposite end, at the base of the violin, where there is now just an attachment hole, 2 mm in diameter, for the clasp, so that the brooch could be pinned to clothing. Similar examples of brooches in the form of a violin in silver and gold can be found on the internet, and are dated from the Victorian period.

A probable Post Medieval copper alloy brooch, dating to the 18th century. The object is formed of a disc with traces of the catchplate and hinge on the reverse. The outer face is decorated with a sexfoil, probably representing a flower. The object is very worn and covered in a mid-light green patina, making it difficult to discern the features clearly. The pin is missing. No parallels have been found for this object, but based on the style and patina it is likely of a later Post Medieval date. Dimensions: diameter: 19.88 mm; thickness: 5.11 mm; weight: 3.16g.
