Description: | A reused fragment of a late Roman strip bracelet. The original bracelet was a narrow band, ca 4-5mm wide, decorated with bands of incised transverse lines, now very worn. At the remaining end is a central perforation ca 1.5mm in diameter to fasten to the other end. Just above this perforation are 2 cast notches on either edge of the bracelet, giving an impression of eyes/ears. The bracelet broke in antiquity and this fragment was rolled up (giving a double thickness for most of its circumference) to form a ring, probably a finger ring judging by the size (internal diameter ca 18mm, external ca 24mm). The surviving ring has a very fine light blue/green patina evenly across its surface. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
