Two Bronze Brooches
The smaller of the two brooches is a fine bronze penannular
brooch, found in a medieval grave during excavations at Whithorn.
It would have only been suitable for use on light cloths, such as
fine linen or silk, and may have been used for pinning a light item
such as a head-scarf or wimple.
The larger brooch, with its zig-zag scorped decoration is
probably 15th century in date - a similar brooch was found at
Urquhart Castle.
