Description: | Fragment of copper-alloy bracelet terminal that has been converted into a finger-ring. The original bracelet was flat and 7 mm wide, and may have been decorated with small dots perhaps along either edge, although the presence of many small corrosion pits makes this uncertain. One end is cut straight across, and the other preserves the original snake-head terminal of the bracelet, which has a slight flattening around the edge but no other detail or decoration. The finger-ring is large, 20 x 22 mm internally. The bracelet is Roman, late third or fourth centuries AD, and it was probably converted to a finger-ring in the late Roman period too. 6.09g.
