Description: | A copper alloy Late Iron Age-Roman Langton Down brooch. The brooch has become severely bent and corroded. The wings are 20.3mm wide by 7mm high. They are tubular in form, and would originally have completely enclosed the spring. The left hand wing (as you look at it) is now damaged, exposing four coils of the copper alloy spring and an attached 17.1mm long remnant of the pin. The top of the head has a moulded design consisting of three raised and separated, vertical, rectangular panels within a double, indented, rectangular border. At the point where the head joins to the bow there is a further moulded horizontal band. The bow is badly bent. It measures 8.7mm wide at the top and tapers to a point at the foot. It has a domed upper surface decorated with three vertical ribs. The catchplate is an open design. The inner edge is largely missing. The dimensions of the piece in its current condition are 30.9mm high by 20.3mm wide. The weight is 8.37g.
