Description: | An incompete copper-alloy bracelet of probable 1st or 2nd century AD date (I.M. Stead and V.Rigby, 1986, p. 125). The object consists of a thin, wide band, with squared-off terminals (one of which survives) and decoration on the upper surface. This decoration takes the form of a series of horizontal bands, formed by the incision of several parallel lines. Two of these bands (those either side of the central band) contain a ropework pattern, whilst the remainder are plain. The horizontal decoration stops short of the terminal, which has two, or possibly three wheel or sun-burst punched marks within an area delineated by two vertical borders of small punched triangles. The opposite terminal is missing and the original size of the bracelet is uncertain.In its current form, the piece measures 43.7mm in diameter by 20.2mm high and 1.2mm thick. It weighs 18g.
