Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Late Roman strip bracelet reused as a finger ring. The strip of bracelet is rectangular in section and is narrow, with a width of 5.24mm and thin at 1.76mm. It is curled around upon itself to form an irregular hoop with an external diameter of 17.16mm and an internal diameter of 13.54mm. The ends of the strip are regularly rounded, implying that they have been deliberately finished, though this does not indicate if the bracelet was deliberately broken or accidentally damaged. Much of the original surface remains with an even mid green patina. The surface is undecorated. Where damage has occurred to the original surface, patches of brighter green are visible (the ring has been treated since discovery). The object weighs 4.04g.
