Description: | Romano-British Langton Down brooch, twin engraved lines along top and vertical lines at ends of enclosed wings containing mass of iron corrosion. Longitudinally grooved bow, openwork triangular catch-plate with iron corrosion on the inner face, particularly within the flap. The whole object is patinated brown by iron, but it is uncertain whether the iron within the head and on the catchplate is the remains of a spring and pin. Langton Down brooches are normally fixed with copper alloy springs and pins. 28 x 60mm. Cf. Hattatt (1987) no.769. Mid 1st century AD. | 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: | 45
