BRACELET

Unique ID: BERK-1DA032

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A fragment of a parallel-sided copper-alloy wide cuff bracelet of early Roman date. The object appears to have one flat termianl end surviving while a short length away is an old break. The upper, curved surface is decorated with punched squares of two linear borders and diagonal linears within. The curve of the object does suggest a small bracelet, and if so it is likely of early Roman date, c. AD 43-100.
