Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy possibly Iron Age Langton Down brooch dating to the period c. AD 43 - 100. Only the head, part of the upper bow, and the wings remain. The pin and catchplate are missing. The brooch measures 17.89mm in length and is 18.45mm at its widest point. It weighs 2.64g.The wings extend out from the upper bow in a curved, fan-shaped fashion and curl slightly backwards. Each end terminates in an old break. The reverse of the wings have evidence of a corroded pin and hinge mechanism. The bow extends from the back of the head with a slight hump and is at first D-shaped in cross-section and 8.55mm in width, but immediately flattens out. The bow tapers down to an old break, which is 5.03mm in width.The entire brooch seems to be undecorated except for a curved groove at the start of the bow on the head.The brooch is similar in shape and style to Hattatt, pp. 306, no. 269.Also similar to NMS-66B9D2
