Description: | Copper alloy and iron Brooch fragment with silver plating. Langton Down, Mackreth type LD 3.b. A semi-cylindrical spring case of copper alloy retains an iron axis bar and an iron spring, now corroded. The case is cast along with a square topped reeded straight sided bow with three parallel grooves separated by ridges and bordered by ridges. The square panel at the top of the bow may bear further incised decoration. Most of the bow is lost. Traces of silver plating remain on the spring case. The thickness of the cast bow is perhaps atypical for this type of strip bow brooch. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, AD 20-50.Length: 19mm, Width: 24.2mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.0mm, Weight: 6.62gms.
