Description: | A copper-alloy Langton Down type brooch of 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp. 80).
The brooch has tubular wings which would originally have completely encased the spring but have become slightly damaged. The spring is also incomplete, with only five coils remaining and there is no remnant of the pin. The bow extends downwards at ninety degrees from the head; it is thin, has a central vertical ridge on the upper surface and a flat underside. The foot is rounded and there is a remnant of an openwork catchplate.
The brooch measures 40.1mm high, 17.7mm wide at the head and 11.7mm deep; it weighs 6.17g. | 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 |
