Description: | A terminal fragment from a late Roman copper-alloy bracelet (c. 4th century AD). In cross section, the object is rectangular with rounded corners. The fragment has slight curvature. It tapers towards the terminal before expanding slightly to a perforated eye. The outer surface is decorated with transverse incisions either side of a longitudinal incision, crudely executed. Just before the break is an incision along the width of the upper surface, perhaps delineating a section, as with a multiple motif bracelet. Bracelets decorated using different motifs have been found in this country and on the continent (see for example Crummy (1983, 46; fig. 47), Swift (2000, 154; fig. 192)). The decoration is similar to examples illustrated in Crummy (ibid.; refs. 1725, 1729). The fragment now has has a dark-brown patina where it survives.
