MEDIEVAL BROOCH
Unknown artist
A medieval brooch with a square, openwork frame. The upper edge of the frame is decorated with closely spaced stamped annulets forming a line of beading. Internally, the frame is angled with a blind hole in the centre of each side and in each corner. One of these holes is pierced through and retains the remains of the sheet pin. The outer edge of the frame is concave, expanding at the base to form a flange, which is decorated with rocker arm engraving. The reverse is flat. The frame measures 17 x 17mm and is 3mm thick.
