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. An example recorded at GLO-E7A921 (2020 T374) benefited from a makers mark enabling more accurate dating to the 17th century. Conclusion: In terms of ag…

White metal probable brooch. Pressed metal disc – though a six-sided form may have been intended which the finder aptly compares to the shape of the modern 50 pence piece – with a billeted outer border tinted a dull bronze-brown, separated by a rounded rim from a flat central field on which slightly sticky traces of an organic fixative remain. A separate stone has presumably been lost. The back retains traces of white metal plating and rust, though no trace of fastening gear remains. Possibly a ‘fairing’ or item of trinket jewellery, though if so, of an unfamili…
