Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy snake bracelet of Roman date. The bracelet consists of a wide band with moulded decoration on the upper surface and a flat underside. One of the snake head terminals survives - it has a rounded upper edge and clearly defined facial features, including slit-like eyes and a rounded nose; the centre of the head has a recessed triangle with incised transverse grooves. The upper surface of the rest of the bracelet has a moulded central band, and raised outer edges. The grooves either side of the central band are decorated, in one section, with horizontal grooves, and in the adjacent section, with transverse grooves. Transverse grooves also adorn the central band and the outer edges. The bracelet is slightly bent and corroded. It measures 34.1mm long, 8.86mm high and up to 3.48mm thick. The weight is 6.65g.
