Description: | Roman cast copper alloy bracelet fragment. Roughly half the bracelet survives. Damaged hooked clasp at one end with a raised transverse collar on the outer surface; the bracelet is then decorated with a very faint off-centre longitudinal groove, then two incuse dots (arranged longitudinally) followed by a transverse groove, then a ring-and-dot and then the bracelet is broken across another transverse groove (these grooves would have framed the ring-and-dot). The inner surface is undecorated. Dark green patina with some light blue-green pitting. Length 52.1mm, width max (across break) 7.16mm, width min (across hook) 2.83mm, thickness max across break 2.8mm, thickness min (across hook) 1.9mm, weight 7.02g.
Bracelets with similar hook clasps and ring-and-dot decoration are published in Crummy 1983, 'Roman small finds from Colchester', page 45, fig47, no.s1724-1732l; all these, where dated, are 3rd/4th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
