Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Langton Down type brooch of 1st century AD date (Hattatt, p. 80). The head measures 14mm wide and has tubular wings which are now damaged but originally would probably have completely encased the spring. Six coils of the spring survive but the pin is missing. The bow measures 8.5mm wide by 4mm thick at the top and has a flat underside and slightly convex upper surface, with a central vertical ridge. The lower half of the bow and the catchplate are missing and the object as a whole is heavily corroded. It measures 17.2mm long and weighs 3.96g. | Subjects: | Langton Down | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
