Description: | An incomplete copper alloy bracelet of Roman date reused as a finger ring (probably during the same period). A portion of the bracelet has been bent round to form a penannular ring. That the fragment was originally part of a bracelet is clear from the decoration on the outer face, which consists of alternating v-shaped notches along each edge. Several complete bracelets bearing similar decoration have been excavated at Colchester (Crummy 1983, 41, fig.43, nos.1653, 1654 & 1656). Most copper alloy bracelets appear to be of 3rd or 4th century date (ibid. 37). A number of finger rings with a similar construction have already been recorded on the PAS database (e.g. WILT-53875E DOR-5B3C8B & BH-4DBFA7).Diameter: 24.15mm width: 6.27mm, thickness: 1.93mm, weight: 3.84
