BRACELET

Unique ID: BM-DD1D3B

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment of a copper-alloy torc-twisted wire bracelet dating to the third or fourth century AD. The bracelet is formed from a single piece of twisted copper-alloy wire which terminates at one end with an eye formed by looping the wire around itself. At the other end, the bracelet is broken and becomes more tightly twisted. The wire measures 91mm in length, the twisted stem a maximum of 2mm in diameter, and the loop 6mm in diameter. Two other examples, BM-CB0232 and BM-0FC5F7 were recovered from the river.
