Description: | A fragment of Roman copper alloy bracelet/ armlet with multiple motif decoration, now bent into a C-shape suggesting possible re-use (as a finger-ring?). The fragment weighs 3.9g and measures 21.14mm in bent length (unbent c.47mm). The bracelet consists of (probably) a terminal section, as one end is narrower. The bracelet is D-shaped in section, being flat on the inside surface with moulded decoration on the outside surface, consisting of a number of panels bound by V-section grooves. At the narrower end (6.24x1.78mm) is a plain panel and next to this, a panel with two longitudinal grooves. Beyond are three more panels of varying length, the longer at the further end. At the other side of this panel is a moulded rib, next to the worn break (6.63x1.66mm). Examples of multiple motif bracelets from Colchester (Crummy 1983, p.46 fig.47) date from AD 320-450.
