Description: | Incomplete cast cu-alloy brooch, possibly of Langton Down type, dating to the mid 1st century AD. The brooch has a cylindrical spring cover and is complete except for catch plate, the pin and part of the spring. It is of simple shape with undecorated bow, foot and head. The foot is of triangular shape with a large triangular perforation, the frame (much like the bow) seem to have an eye- or diamond-shaped cross-section with tapering sides. The spring was made separately and was housed in a cylidrical sheet metal case formed from flanges cast along the top and bottom edges of the wings. | Subjects: | Langton Down | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
