Description: | Incomplete Roman Langton Down type copper alloy brooch, 1st century AD.The brooch has an old break just below the wings therefore only showing 11mm of the bow. At the point where the wings and the bow meet there are some vertically incised short lines running above and on the semi circular ridge. The bow itself shows the very worn standard reeded decoration which would run vertically down the bow. The bow comes down at virtually a right angle from the wings. The tubular wingspan is broken which also appears to be from an old break. The pin and spring mechanism is missing. With the back of the wings facing forward, the left hand side of the wing has lost half of the tubular casing. The right hand side is almost complete with signs of corrosion. The wingspan measures 19mm in width.The brooch measures 16mm in length and weighs 3.4g.cf. Hattatt (1989) no.770.
