Description: | A Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Langton Down Type dating to the mid 1st century AD (25-60 AD). The brooch is incomplete and is represented by the head and upper bow only with a surviving length of 13.5mm and a weight of 4.41grams. The brooch employed a spring mechanism, of which up to 5 coils survive, one in the centre, 3 to one side and one to the other. The spring is within an incomplete cylindrical cover which forms the head. This cover is open ended and has been formed of a flat sheet which has been pinched closed. The brooch has a width at the head of 20.3mm. The bow rises perpendicular from the head and then bends immediately by 90 degrees to form the flat bow. The bow has a width of 11.5mm at the head and is broken just below the head. The front of the bow is decorated with three vertical ribs running down from the head. | Subjects: | Langton Down | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
