A post-medieval silver annular brooch dating to c.1600-1700. The brooch consists of a circular frame, that has a flat rectangular cross-section set at an oblique angle. A circular hole mounts the silver pin that has a curved penannular loop for attachment.  Similar Post-Medieval examples have been reported at treasure HAMP-974996 (2017 T530) and KENT-589DC5 (2018 T579).  These brooches can have a date range from 1500-1700.

Copper alloy and glass brooch. Cast copper alloy discoid backplate with eight projecting triangular spurs which clasp a low plano-convex section opaque glass stone with trails of off-white and pale and dark brown glass.
