Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Roman bracelet dating from about AD 250 - 410. The fragment is part of a strip bracelet. It is rectangular in section and decorated with transverse grooves. At one end, the bracelet expands slightly, and is decorated with an incised cross saltire. There is also part of a circular hole here, perhaps part of the hook and eye fastening. The braclet is broken at both ends; the breaks are worn and patinated. The metal has a dark brown patina. Compare examples on page 42 of Crummy (1983). The fragment is bent into a U shape. It is 26.86mm long, 16.75mm wide and 3.88mm thick. 2.02g.
