Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, probably the terminal end of a bracelet of Roman date. A small length of the band and one terminal survives, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The band is rectangular in form and section, flaring towards the terminal, which is oval in form. The front face of the terminal has a central oval shaped boss, possibly separate from the band by a transverse moulding or groove, but the precise form of any additional decorative elements is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 27.40mm in length, 6.71mm in width, 2.01mm in maximum thickness, and 1.26g in weight.This is possibly the terminal end from a bracelet or armlet of Roman date. It finds similarities with bracelets of snakeshead form published by Swift (2000: pp. 165-166 figs. 211-212), which might indicate a possible later Roman date for the object.
