Description: | An incomplete copper alloy bracelet of Roman date c.AD 43 - 410. Probably of the 'hook and eye' type. The bracelet comprises a sub-rectangular plate with curved profile. The plate tapers from one end to the other - presumably the hook or eye end - though both terminate in worn breaks. The upper surface of the bracelet bears moulded decoration in the form of repeated transverse ridges. A single ring and dot design is present at the wider end of the bracelet plate. The interior surface is undecorated.The metal has a mid-green patina and is worn. The bracelet is 45.3mm long, 6.7mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 2.7g.Similar bracelets have been recorded with the PAS, including HAMP-CF3EB3, SOM-BF8548 and WILT-641385. Parallels are also illustrated in Crummy (1983) p.42, fig.44.
