Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy bracelet of late Roman date (c. 4th century AD). The narrow, elongated artefact is rectangular in plan, broken at both ends. In profile it forms a very shallow curve, slightly pronounced at one end as a result of old damage. The bracelet is decorated unifacially with six incised lines near the centre of the fragment, creating a group of five transverse ridges. There is a further incised groove and ridge at one of the terminals from a second such panel. The rectangular zones between are flat and plain. It bears comparison with a panel on a bracelet illustrated in Crummy (1983, 44; 1721). The object is a variable dark-green colour with patches of off-white corrosion product.
