A fragment of a late Roman silver bracelet or finger ring. The object is made from two strands of silver wire, circular in cross-section and twisted around each other to form a ring. The projected diameter of the surviving section suggests that this is a finger ring, though it might be distorted. The chunkiness of the strands would make it uncomfortably large, and so its identification as a bracelet seems more appropriate. Similar cable bracelets were discovered accompanying late Roman burials at Colchester (Crummy, 1982, p.38, fig. 41, nos 1611, 1613, 1628.
