Description: | A copper-alloy bracelet of probable late Roman date (cf. Crummy 1983: 40).The bracelet is of penannular form, only one of the two original terminals surviving intact. The band is at its widest towards the back; from here is tapers in both directions. The intact terminal is of simple form, having a rounded end and a low 'step', possibly an attempt at a stylised representation of a snake's head. The opposing terminal is missing, the break having occurred in antiquity. Both the inner and outer surfaces of the bracelet are slightly convex. Although bent out of shape, the object is in reasonably good condition, with little corrosion and a light green patination. It measures 62mm wide and 48.5mm deep (from back to front). The maximum band width is 5.6mm and the thickness, 2.3mm. It weighs 9.13g.
