Description: | A worn, coiled cast copper-alloy fragment from a Roman bracelet. It original length would have been c. 80mm. The fragment does not feature any terminal elements. Decoration is naturally limited to the obverse face. This is divided into triangular sections by incised diagonals. Within each section thus delineated is a ring-and-dot motif. This latter is created by a circular groove leaving a circle, in the centre of which is a punched dot. The fragment has been cut, probably for re-use as a finger ring. The newly created terminals overlap over 13.3mm. If indeed it was once used as a finger-ring it has since been damaged and is now unwearable. The fragment is late Roman, probably 4th century AD in date. | Subjects: | re-used as finger-ring | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
