Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Langton Down type. Missing spring, pin, most of catchplate; very corroded and abraded; bow bent. The spring cover has no surviving decoration. The flat bow has a straight horizontal junction with the spring cover and now tapers to a damaged point. There are traces of two(?) longitudinal lines on the bow, but most decoration is probably lost. The catchplate stub suggests a single triangular hole. Surviving length 43mm, width 15mm. Type is similar to Hattatt no.773 but that has a straight sided bow; Hacheston (pubn no 49) has slightly tapering bow and probably similar bow decoration but lacks the catchplate hole. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 25
