Description: | Fragment of copper-alloy bracelet 8 mm wide and 2 mm thick. The fragment has a smooth curve to fit nicely around the wrist; each face is also slightly curved to produce a pointed-oval section. The outer face is decorated with a long panel of ornament consisting of a longitudinal groove emphasised by a line of dots down the middle. To either side, along the edges, are rows of engraved saltires. This panel runs from a fresh break for about 45 mm around the curve of the bracelet, and ends with three transverse grooves. The central one is again emphasised with a row of dots. There are then two steps which narrow the bracelet to 6 mm wide; beyond the second, the bracelet has lost its polished patina and it ends in a neat but slightly oblique cut. This may possibly be an original terminal. Total unbent length c. 61 mm, bent length 46 mm.
