A cast copper-alloy terminal from a necklace clasp of Roman date. It comprises a body that is rectangular in form and section and decorated on all long faces with multiple transverse wavy lines.

Broad period: ROMAN

A necklace of twisted copper-alloy. Although the necklace is now coiled round its original length may have been about 191mm. The copper-alloy rod was flat and rectangular-shaped in cross-section before it was twisted. This necklace may be complete as one end is oval-shaped and may originally have been a loop and the other end is flat and may have passed through the loop. There is a similar necklace from the Roman small town of Wanborough, Wiltshire (Anderson, Wacher, Fitzpatrick, 2001, p99, fig, 39, No, 138), which is dated to 260 AD.
