Description: | A cast copper alloy penannular bracelet, probably dating to the Roman period (length unrecordable as the artefact has coiled round and bent back on itself; width of most of band: 6.2mm; thickness at terminals: 3.2mm; weight: 28.86g). There are infrequent remains of gilding on one side of the bracelet as well as additional decoration of a central indentation running down the length of the band. The bracelet, including the terminals, are flat in section and they splay outwards at the ends at a width of 10mm. Overall, the bracelet is in a worn and corroded condition with a dark green patina.Plain penannular bracelets are difficult to date as they occur throughout the period, but examples are known from late Roman contexts.
