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…

Description and identification Two halves of a decorated silver annular brooch frame. It is misshapen, with each part forming an elongated ‘U’ shape, which was once likely circular. The level of distortion obscures the form of the decoration on each ‘face’. There are regular, equally spaced notches infilled with niello across one ‘face’, with intermittent groups of four or five incised or stamped dots.  The other ‘face’ is largely plain with occasional groups of notches visible in one area. The two halves join at one break but do n…

Description & identification The plain pin has a broad wrap around head and transverse raised ridge at the junction with the shaft. Length 28mm; head width 5mm (incomplete); weight 0.99g.

An incomplete Late Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy Langton Down brooch dating to AD 20-65. T-shaped in plan, the piece is virtually complete save for the missing spring mechanism and the fact that much of the wings have broken away.
