Workflow status: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation

A fragment of Late Roman (AD 200-400) copper alloy bracelet or armlet, measuring 26.8x11.4x3.5mm and weighing 4.3g. Some of the patina has flaked off, and it has worn breaks at either end.

The bracelet narrows from 11.4mm to 8.2mm (although the sides are also worn at this point). It is decorated to the front with a vertical incised line, which is rather more a groove at either end, dividing the bracelet into decorative segments. One segment has traces of two transverseincised lines.
