Medieval Heart Brooch
Exclusive to the British Museum, a gold-plated heart-shaped brooch, inspired by an original that was found as part of the Fishpool Hoard, now housed at the Museum.
This brooch remains faithful to the original, which is embellished with twisted bands set within a beaded border, and alternately enamelled with blue and white. It is thought to have been deposited sometime between the winter of 1463 and Summer of 1464, during a rebellion against the Yorkist king Edward IV (r. 1460–1483) by supporters of the Lancastrian Henry VI, in the first decade of the Wars of the Roses (1455–1485).
The brooch can be seen on display in the British Museum.
An exquisite memento of England’s tumultuous past.
