Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman bead-imitative bracelet, probably from the c. 3rd-4th centuries AD. The bracelet is D-shaped in cross-section, is solid-cast and has deep grooves to immitate rectanglar shaped beads alternating with a narrow raised band that is decorated with small incised lines, suggesting further beading or braiding. Although beaded examples are found dating to the Late Iron Age, those examples are frequently hollow, with enlarged beadwork. For a similar example recorded on the PAS database, cf.: HAMP-E3D4F1. The fragment measures 31.9 mm long, 9.1 mm wide, 4.6 mm thick and weighs 7.9 grams.
