Description: | A cast strip of copper alloy, D shaped in section, bent over at one end and curved at the other as if to make a hook that has broken off. The curved face of the strip has an evenly executed, moulded spiral pattern running along it but stopping just before each end of the object where it also tapers slightly. The strip doed not appear to be a bracelet that hes been straightened by plough damage, it is robustly made and looks as if it was cast straight. Two Roman coins found in the same field on the same day are recorded on the database: BUC-3BD2C0 & BUC-3B9E57. These suggest that it may be Roman in date. Several specialists in identifying Roman finds have been shown the object but none were able to give a definitive answer to the puzzle of its function. Research for parallels have proved unfruitful so far.
