Description: | Two Roman cast copper alloy bracelet fragments (43-410 AD). Each rectangular-sectioned fragment has incised geometrical decoration on one surface and is plain on the reverse. The smaller of the two fragments is decorated with a long incised triangle which contains five annulets arranged in two pairs with a further one, to fill the triangular shape. This fragment measures 14.3mm long, 4.6mm wide and 1.2mm thick, and weighs 0.62 grams.The second fragment is decorated with four annulets of a similar size to those on the first fragment. These are arranged in a square and contained within two incised lines. Outside one of the incised lines is another annulet, but this time filling the width of the bracelet. This larger fragment measures 16.6mm long, 4.2mm wide and 1.2mm thick, and weighs 0.64 grams.Both bracelet fragments have a bright green patina and are only slightly worn.
