Broad period: ROMAN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A bent fragment of a Roman copper alloy bracelet or armlet, 4mm wide with a flat cross section. The exterior is divided into panels by deeply incised transverse lines, each panel with an oblique line running across it diagonally with a pair of offset notches, one to each side. The angle of the diagonals alternates creating a zig-zag effect. The bracelet appears to have been intentionally cut to respect the edges of the panels at either end and has been bent around, possibly for re-use as a finger ring. There are traces of a white metal coating.

A pin of silver, probably from a medieval annular brooch or possibly a buckle. The attachment loop is delineated from the otherwise unornamented main part of the pin by a ridge; this is raised on the former outer surface of the pin and only represented as two lateral protrusions from the rear. Similar items on the database are recorded under both buckle and brooch pins, SUR-D5E7F6 being morphologically very close except for the much thinner attachment loop.
