Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy bracelet, dating to the Roman period, between AD 43 - 410 (length: 43mm; width: 4.5mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 5.2g).The fragment (which appears to be broken at one end only) is sub-rectangular in plan with a sub D-shaped section and curved profile. The front side of the fragment is heavily decorated with ridge, groove and moulded decoration. Commencing from the complete (probably) terminal at one end, the decoration appears in the following order: a small square platform (6mm x 4.5mm); four grooves alternating between three ridges; a long rectangular platform (17.5mm x 4.5mm); four grooves alternating between three ridges; a small square platform (4.5mm x 4.5mm); two grooves alternating between two ridges; break. Although the two small square platforms are not decorating, the long rectangular platform is decorated with an additional incised and/ grooved design. This design consists of two deep parallel grooves running down the platform's length and a single small groove across the platform's width at either end. There does not appear to be any enamel or additional material within these grooves. The back of the artefact is flat and undecorated. Overall, the bracelet fragment is in a worn but fair condition with a patchy dark green patina.
