NEW ONLINE FORM!

We're trialling an online form for reporting finds to TT. If you have any issues using the form, please let us know.

We are still using the usual paper and email forms for those who prefer to report to us as normal.

More research into the brooch type needs to take place to establish this, but one thing is certain; these are rare and highly informative little pieces of Scottish jewellery that continue to offer insight into the use and presentation of personal adornment in the Medieval period.

[Treasure Trove Unit @TTUScotland]

You know what’s better than a beautiful silver Medieval brooch? Yep. TWO beautiful silver Medieval brooches! We have a surprise double-whammy for your #FindsFriday today!

[Treasure Trove Unit @TTUScotland]

There has been some suggestion that both brooches could have come from the same workshop.
