Description: | A copper-alloy brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date. Langton Down brooch dating from the late 1st century BC to the late 1st century AD. The head measures 27.2mm wide and has an incomplete spring enclosed within curled flaps on the underside of the head. The damaged pin emanates from a central slot in the flaps. The display side of the head is decorated with a repeating pattern of closely-spaced incised diagonal lines within an incised border. Two further incised lines extend horizontally across the top of the head. The vertical sides of the bow are slightly concave and the width tapers slightly towards the squared-off foot. The display surface of the bow has a series of vertical indentations and ridges. The catchplate is largely missing, but was originally of the open type. The object is heavily encrusted. It measures 62.9mm long and weighs 18.04g. | 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
