Description: | An fragment of a possible cast copper-alloy unidentified object. It is rectangular in plan, with one broken terminal. This break is recent. The opposite terminal tapers and forms a scroll with a circular perforation. The scroll is decorated with fine radiating grooves. The exterior of the object is decorated with a bordering ridge and the central portion is convex in profile. The central portion is decorated with a block of fine almost vertical inscribed grooves towards the original terminal. In profile the object is curved and has been slightly bent in the centre which has damaged the patina. Otherwise the surface of the bracelet has a well developed shiny green/grey patina. It measures 47.21mm long. 1.86mm thick, and 12.92mm wide and it weighs 5.5g. A comparison cannot be found, but it is likely to date to the late Iron Age to early Roman period.
