A cast pewter openwork annular brooch of medieval date comprising an open ring with a raised front surrouded by beaded borders and, running around its exterior, six projecting letters of lombardic form reading AMOVRS. The O and V are now folded back onto the front of the frame. A bent circular suspension or attachment ring projects from the top of the letter M. The reverse has damage, but appears to have stumps of brooch fittings. The style of the letters would suggest a later 14th to early 15th century date.

A silver pin from a medieval brooch, probably of annular type. The pin is 27.6mm in length and bent. The shaft has a flattened and oval cross section and tapers to a rounded tip. There is a small collar at the loop which is decorated with punched annulets, although use wear has obscured these. The articulation loop has a flat cross section. The underside of the pin has a distinctive patch of corrosion running from the bend to the tip. This may relate to use, perhaps representing an area in regular prolonged contact with acidic organic surfaces such as skin or leather.
