Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Langton Down type. The brooch is missing its pin mechanism, the pin itself, and the foot and catchplate, while much of the head has abraded away. The surviving head features a characteristically cylindrical hood. The curve from head through to bow goes through ninety degrees, as is typical. The bow has a flat reverse and a moulded obverse face. Possible decorative longitudinal reeding is visible on the bow's upper surface. The brooch has corroded to its present red-brown colour with areas of green copper disease.
