Description: | Copper alloy armlet of Roman date. The armlet is sub-rectangular, tapering, generally rectangular in section and is now bent into a U-shape. The wider end of the object terminates in a straight break. At this end there is a raised circular element with two incised concentric rings and a central incised dot decorating the upper surface. There is then a deep incised lateral groove, a lateral ridge and a second, shallow, lateral groove. The main section of the object is decorated with a central longitudinal groove with a series of short transverse on either side. Towards the narrow end there are a series of five incised lateral grooves separated by four ridges. The object terminates at the narrow end with a possible zoomorphic terminal, perhaps in the form of a crocodile?s head. The head is formed by a rectangular element for the eyes, then a concave section raised at the end, where it is broken off, forming the snout. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Patchy mid-green patina. | 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: | 300
