Description: | Post-medieval cu-alloy bracelet/bangle of a form that was widely spread among the rural working classes of the 18th century. These bracelets are either plain or, like this example, decorated with a simple groove. Very much like copper bracelets today, this 18th century version was worn in the belief that it would prevent or help relieve illnesses, in this case the 'ague', a type of fever that was rife at the time.
