A silver wire Medieval annular brooch dating from about AD 1200 - 1400. The frame is oval and the pin survives. In cross-section, the frame is a square with concave sides. It is formed from thin silver wire which has been woven, plaited or knitted together to form a square sectioned cord with a ridge at each corner, which has then been twisted to create a cable effect round the frame. The frame thus has four spiralling ridges with the ends fursed together at the constriction where the pin is attached. The frame is a hollow network of interwoven wires, rather than a solid sin…
