Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy 1st century AD brooch; possibly a Langton Down variant type. The brooch has a spring mechanism, housed inside a double rolled. The spring and the beginnings of the pin survive. The pin proper has broken off. There is an external hook over the top of the spring. The head proper of the brooch comprises the short wings, which the spring sits behind. Each wing has been decorated with vertical incised lines. The bow is long, flat and tapering. The head is very prominent and the upper part of the bow features two drilled holes. The bow is decorated with vertical incised lines. The bow terminates with a broken foot which is undecorated. Behind the foot are the remains of a broken catchplate. This type of brooch dates from the 1st century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p306.
