Description: | A fragment of a Late Roman copper-alloy bracelet.The piece has been broken off at both ends and is badly distorted. It has been made from a parallel-sided strip of copper-alloy, the width gradually declining from one end to the other. The upper surface bears a series of decorative panels, created by punching, incising and possibly by casting of some elements. At the wider end, there is a panel which has been transversely grooved to create a series of segments of different lengths. The next panel comprises two longitudinal lines of punched ring-and-dot marks, separated from each other by a central groove. An apparently plain panel, with transversely grooved borders, separates the ring-and-dot-filled panel from the final one, which has a deep longitudinal groove at its centre and a series of oblique, parallel grooves marking both of its long sides.Dimensions: length: 33.2mm; maximum width: 7.4mm; width at narrower end: 4.7mm; thickness: 1.6mm. Weight: 3.56g.
