Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Langton Down brooch. Only the foot of the bow and catchplate survive, the remainder of the brooch now missing due to old breaks. The bow is flat, rectangular in form and with moulded decoration on the front face. This comprises two vertical reeded bands each with central groove and separated by fluting. The outer edges of the front face have transverse notches. At its foot the brooch has an integrally cast catchplate on the back face, which is semi-circular in form, with a central oval shaped perforation, and is currently bent over to one side as a result of post-depositional damage. The back face of the bow is flat and undecoration. This fragment measures 23.42mm in length, 7.35mm in width at bow, 1.27mm in thickness at bow, and weighs 1.39g.This is the foot from a Langton Down bow brooch similar to examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 36-39). It is of 1st century AD date, c.25-65 AD.
