Description: | Incomplete copper alloy bracelet of Late Roman date, probably dating to the 3rd or 4th century AD. The bracelet is of flat section of between 2.0 and 2.5mm thickness and has a surviving length of approximately 100mm when straightened. The bracelet has one terminal depicting a lozenge snake head and punched decoration with dots for the beast's nostrils and the eyes defined by two circular arcs, with a smaller arc inside the larger. The decoration along the body continues to utilise the two punches with the arcs joining or nearly joining to form a scroll motif. There are dot punched marks near each side. The original surface of the bracelet has been lost and is now a red brown colour. The incomplete bracelet weighs 9.2g.
