A silver coin converted into a brooch by having a pin attached to one side (the pin has not survived, but the attachment is partially present) and with one side gilded. The gilded side is, as is usual, the side showing the cross.

TREASURE CASE : 2008 T643 A fragment of a medieval brooch consisting of perhaps less than half of the original diameter. The complete brooch would have been circular. The fragment is decorated with two animal heads. One grasps in its mouth part of the loop for the pin attachment. The other would have held the pin-rest in a similar fashion. Between the two animal heads are three collets divided by two bosses. The central collet is the largest and is set with a purple stone (probably a garnet). The other two collets have lost their settings. The two bosses are decorated with circul…

A miniature Medieval brooch in the shape of a trefoil with three globular projections positioned at each external recess. The frame is nicely shaped with a chamfered edge. The brooch retains its pin, which is designed to lie diagonally across its breadth, resting beneath the opposite globular projection. Miniature brooches are an enigmatic category of object and may have been designed for infants, children or even pets; or they may have been worn as multiples. They were either used with very fine fabrics or they were stitched into place. The brooch is silver-gilt and dates f…

A silver-gilt, circular brooch with an inscription on both sides. On one side are the words IASPAR* MELCHIOR* BAVLTAZA (Jaspar, Melchior and Balthazar B the names of the three magi who travelled from the East to worship the infant Jesus). On the other side is the phrase * INMANVS* TVAS* DOMINE* AVR (`Into thy hand Lord '). The last three letters are divided by the pin of the brooch and their significance is unclear. In medieval times the names of the magi were invoked as protection against the falling sickness and were used as part of a longer charm against fever.
