Description: | Copper alloy two strand cablework armlet or bracelet fragment. The bracelet is made up of two oval-sectioned (diameter 1.5-2.0mm) strands (total thickness 2.5-3.5mm). At the intact end, one strand has been flattened and turned back upon itself to form a hook, while the other has been flattened and wrapped around the hooked strand to form a collar. It is uncertain whether the broken end has been cut or sheared off. It is not possible to reconstruct the original diameter of the armlet or bracelet. Surviving length 42.5mm, weight 2.1 grams. For a close parallel, recovered from a fourth to mid fifth century AD grave, cf. Crummy 1983, 38, no.1611, fig.41. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
