A medieval brooch of lozenge shape. Each angle terminates in a concave, circular, gilded knop. A semi-spherical gilded blob is placed along two lengths of the lozenge and two apertures are placed in the same position on the other half of the brooch. The latter may be for the suspension of chains, now lost. The pin is also missing. The brooch is silver-gilt (it contains a minimum of 10% silver) and dates from the fourteenth century.

An unusual annular Medieval silver gilt zoomorphic brooch in the form of two intertwined snakes, probably dating from AD 1200 - 1400. The brooch is unusual because the frame is made in two pieces. Each piece is a C shape, of greater diameter in the middle, and tapering to the ends. The ends coil into a loop, back over the frame, so the terminals are on the outside of the frame. The terminals of one C shaped piece are modelled as snakes' or serpents' heads. The terminals of the other piece are both missing. The front of the frame is decorated with longitudinal grooves and small tr…

A pin of silver, probably from a medieval annular brooch or possibly a buckle. The attachment loop is delineated from the otherwise unornamented main part of the pin by a ridge; this is raised on the former outer surface of the pin and only represented as two lateral protrusions from the rear. Similar items on the database are recorded under both buckle and brooch pins, SUR-D5E7F6 being morphologically very close except for the much thinner attachment loop.
