Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy necklet (or large armlet). It consists of the hook end (the tip of the hook is broken), which is rectangular in section, and expands into a roughly square-section twisted body. Both breaks are old.
The necklet measures 121.9mm and weighs 33.54g. The hook end measures 4x2.7mm, expanding to 4.7x3.8mm at the start of the body, and expanding again (over 34.7mm) to 7x5.6mm at the start of the twist. There is some iron staining at this point.
The original diameter would have been c.140mm (internal c.120mm). The metal is quite pitted.
Armlets of a similar style date to the 3rd and 4th century AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
