Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy bracelet of Roman date. The object represents part of a flat-section or ribbon-strip bracelet, similar examples to which have been found in 4th century layers at Bancroft villa (R.J. Williams and R.J. Zeepvat; 1994; pp. 303-4).
The bracelet is of fairly solid construction and has a flat inner face and slightly convex outer face. The decoration on the outer face consists of a series of vertical panels defined by incised lines and each containing various combinations of incisions and punched ring-and-dot marks.
The object has a dark green patina but is slightly corroded. It measures 58.2mm long by 6.3mm high and 2.3mm thick; it weighs 6.36g. | 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
