Description: | A body fragment from an early Roman broad, flat bracelet. The fragment is broadly rectangular, broken at both ends, bent upwards slightly at one. It is fairly flat in profile, with a rectangular cross-section. The terminal is finished with bevelling to its lower surface. The upper surface is decorated longitudinally along the body featuring a pair of double incised lines picked out with regular diagonal nicks (cf. Stead and Rigby 1986, 126; ref. 166). These are off centre, with a further incised line towards one of the sides. At Baldock such broad bracelets were found in contexts beginning with Neronian, and are generally thought to be 'early' (ibid., 125). The object has a mid-brown/yellow patina where it survives; there is mid-green corroded metal below.
