Copper alloy unidentified object. Cast flat rectangular section strip; one side bears decoration comprising two groups of paired longitudinal ribs with incised line borders, separated by a pair of transverse ribs also bordered by incised lines. The other side is plain, and was probably smooth. The object is broken at both ends, in at least one case at the site of further transverse decoration. This could be a bracelet fragment, though if so, it has been deliberately flattened. Suggested date: Possibly Late Roman, 200-410.
Length: 39.7mm, Width: 5.5mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 2.29gms.
