Description: | A copper-alloy Langton Down brooch, dating from the early to mid 1st century AD.The spring encasement consists of a horizontally-aligned cylinder, at the centre of which is a vertical slit from which the now-missing pin would have extended. The top of the bow, measuring approximately two thirds the width of the spring encasement, projects horizontally backwards before curving downwards into a parallel-sided, flat-sectioned strip. The foot is squared off and there is a remnant of the perforated catchplate. The brooch measures 40.3mm long, 22.1mm wide (head) and weighs 9.5g.
