Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman armlet, possibly dating to the 3rd ?? 4th Century.
The armlet has a large circumference. The copper alloy wire has a lozenge shaped section, which has been twisted. The armlet has an expanding clasp, formed from two spirals of twisted wire wrapped around the armlet. Each terminal of the armlet forms the opposite spiral twist of the expanding clasp. Therefore in between each spiral there are two stands of wire.
Other than the twists there are no other decorative features. The metal is pitted and it is a mid greyish-green colour.
A similar armlet can be seen in Crummy, p39, Fig: 41. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
