Description: | A small fragment from a late Roman copper-alloy bracelet dating from the mid 3rd to 4th century. The fragment does not feature any terminal elements. Along the edges, the decoration is divided diagonally into sections by slightly irregularly spaced opposing triangular nicks. Within each section thus delineated is a ring-and-dot motif. With such a small fragment it is not possible to state whether this design would have continued along the totality of the bracelet. The design is similar to one found on a bracelet fragment recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, ref. NARC-DEEC87, although the circles are smaller on the present example. The two fragments were found less than 50m apart. The artefact is slightly worn with a green patina and slight pitting on the reverse. In profile, the tight arc of the fragment suggests that it might have been bent for re-use as a finger ring.
