Description: | A Roman copper alloy incomplete bracelet (AD43-55). The bracelet is made from a strip (width: 15.55mm) of copper alloy sheet. At one end a section has been curled round on itself to form a ?tunnel? for a pin to secure the ends of a bracelet. The pin is not present. The external surface of the bracelet is decorated with four parallel horizontal lines of small squares with a pellet in the centre of each. Just before the terminal the decoration changes to alternate bands of three vertical lines of repeated S-shaped punches and then a vertical line of ring and dots. Mid green patina.
It is similar in form to no. 1586 excavated in Colchester but the decoration differs on this example (Crummy 1983: 37-38)
Dimensions: width 15.55mm; thickness 0.95mm; diameter 57.30mm (approx.); weight 6.38g
