Description: | A corroded, bent and incomplete copper-alloy artefact. The form of this piece suggests it is part of a Roman snake-form bracelet.The back of the bracelet is of 'D-shaped' section and and measures 2.9mm high at the point of the break. The width and height increase at the long terminal, but the thickness decreases. Towards the head end, the sides of the terminal angle inwards, ending in a short vertical inner edge. The shape of the terminal suggests a heavily stylised snake head but no facial features are visible in the heavily corroded surface.In its current form, the object measures 55mm long. At the widest point (the head), the bracelet is 7.8mm wide; the thickest point (back of the bracelet) is 2.3mm. The weight is 3.95g.
