Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman penannular armlet, broken into two pieces. The armlet is ovate in plan and in section, at its thickest point, about 6 mm, and the terminals taper to a more flattened lozenge shape in section, about 2.5 mm in thickness. The armlet has corroded so that parts of the surface are missing, but there appears to be a few rows of raised dots on the upper faces of the terminals, which are similar to armlets found in Roman contexts, where the surface of the armlet appears to be emulating snake skin or snake's eyes.
Crummy (1983) illustrates similar examples on pages 43-44, Figs.45-46, Nos.1707, 1710 & 1717, which date from the 4th to the 5th century AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
