Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy twisted wire, possibly a fragment of an armlet. It is constructed from two strands of wire twisted together and then pinched together at each end. Both ends of the fragment terminate with a thinner piece of wire wrapped horizontally around the object ?to form a slip knot to alter the diameter of the armlet, or possibly as decoration. From the centre of the smaller twists of wire projects a short length of the thinner wire. There are similar examples illustrated in Crummy that are dated c.320-450AD (1983:38-39 fig.41). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 350
