Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy snake bracelet of mid 2nd to 4th century date. The bracelet consists of a wide band with moulded decoration on the upper surface and a flat underside. One of the snake head terminals survives - it has a rounded upper edge and clearly defined facial features. The centre of the head has two incised grooves that almost meet over the nose. The neck is narrower than the head, and the body is slightly wider. At the point where the head meets the body is an incised panel containing a cross. The incised decoration is picked out with white metal.
The object measures 54.4mm long, 13.3mm wide and 4.8mm thick. No weight recorded. | Subjects: | Snake | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
