Description: | Roman sheet copper alloy finger-ring, cut down from a bracelet or armlet 5.2mm wide and 0.7mm thick - the ends overlap, with one (on the outside) having a transverse cut and the other (on the inside) having a rounded (slightly narrowed) end and piercing c.2.5mm in diameter, presumably the 'eye' of a hook-and-eye clasp bracelet.
The finger-ring/ fragment of bracelet is decorated with ten punched ring and dot motifs.
Although a little squashed, the finger-ring is 20.8x18mm in diameter (internal 19.4x14.5mm). It weighs 1.54g.
Hook-and-eye clasp bracelets of similar decoration from excavations in Colchester date from c.AD 320 to c.450 (at the latest). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
