Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy bracelet, probably dating to the Roman period, between AD 43 - 410 (length: 33mm; width: 12mm; thickness: 2mm; weight: 5.7g).The bracelet fragment (which is broken and both ends) is rectangular in plan, mostly flat in side section and curved in profile. The front surface is decoration with a series of ridged and linear decoration. A central ridge running down the artefact's length is flanked by a single slightly raised line to the top and bottom, which are in turn marked with multiple irregular incised markings across the width of each raised line. Fifteen small markings are visible on one raised line and twenty-three markings on the opposing line, which runs parallel to the other. The outside edges to either side of the fragment's width have raised borders. Overall, the decoration on the front of the bracelet fragment portrays a very slight \/\/ appearance. The back of the artefact is flat and undecorated. The fragment is in a slightly worn but good condition with a dark green patina.
