BRACELET
Unique ID: BUC-748276
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A solid cast copper alloy bracelet, possibly of Roman date. The bracelet was most likely c-shaped and opened to one side for ease of wear, with one tapering terminal and one broken flat end. The bracelet has a diamond-shaped, section. Its external surface is decorated with a repeating pattern of stamped concentric circles in flanking pairs, which run the length of the bracelet; however, its internal surface is undecorated. The bracelet has a deep copper colour and a slight patina, with some areas of light jade-green colour. The bracelet survives in good condition, although it has been bent open and crimped, possibly from cultivation activity.
