Description: | Post-medieval cu-alloy bracelet/bangle of a form that was widely spread among the rural working classes of the 18th century. These bracelets are either plain or, like this example, decorated with a simple groove. Very much like copper bracelets today, this 18th century version was worn in the belief that it would prevent or help relieve illnesses, in this case the 'ague', a type of fever that was rife at the time. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
