Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy bracelet of early Roman date. One terminal and a short length of the band survive, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It is flat, rectangular in form and slightly curved in profile. The front face has decoration comprising two transverse grooves at the terminal end, the outer most of which has a transverse band of lozenges(?), between which are four leaf-shaped motifs. A second transverse band of lozenge(?) motifs is present on the band of the bracelet, from which extend two longitudinal bands with corded or cabled decoration. The entire object has a worn and pitted dark brown patina and measures 32.33mm in length, 18.23mm in width, 1.24mm in thickness and 4.21g in weight.This is an incomplete Roman bracelet with parallels noted in Crummy (2005: pp. 95-96) especially her Group A. These indicate a 1st century AD date for the current example, c.43-100 AD.
