Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Flat-section, or 'Ribbon-strip', bracelet of late Roman date.
The bracelet is narrow and of thin section. The outer surface has moulded decoration which takes the form of a repeating pattern of closely-spaced vertical grooves and ridges, set alternately. The terminal itself is slightly wider than the rest of the bracelet, plain and has a vertical inner edge. At the centre of the terminal is a pierced hole containing a short copper-alloy rivet of circular section.
The fragment is bent but relatively uncorroded and has a light blueish-green patina. It measures 19.9mm long, 15.5mm wide and weighs 1.3g. The band is up to 3.9mm wide and 1.3mm thick. | Subjects: | Flat-section/Ribbon-strip | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
