Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy bracelet of late Roman date (c. 4th century AD). The artefact is elongated and sub-rectangular in plan. In profile it has been bent upwards at one end and downwards at the other, distorted from its original curve. The bracelet fragment is decorated unifacially with four moulded panels, rectangular in shape with faceted corners. Between these is a lower zone of low ridges (four or five) divided by transverse incisions. It bears comparison with a bracelet illustrated in Crummy (1983, 44; 1721). On the lower surface at one end is a tab under the bracelet which may be the other end of a penannular loop that was once overlapped and rivetted (and soldered) together. The artefact now has a grey/green patina.
