Short, distorted length of silver, almost certainly from a bracelet. It has an astragalus pattern in relief in a "chip-carved" technique - alternating square and lozenge panels, two of each surviving.

A Roman silver bracelet, now broken in two, with a twisted hoop and hinged bezel. The distorted elliptical hoop comprises a fine and evenly-twisted, tightly-spiralled tube made from circular-sectioned silver wire. Quite heavy wear is visible on both sides of the hoop. What appears to be the central core, around which the wire was spiralled, is visible under magnification in those places where distortion has slightly 'opened' the twisted strands, but its composition is uncertain. Each terminal is enclosed in a tubular collar which is decorated with an applied central meander filigre…

Complete silver adjustable bracelet made from an undecorated wire, 3mm in diameter at the centre tapering towards the terminals, which overlap and twist around the hoop to fasten the bracelet. Commonly found made out of copper alloy, this form of expanding bracelet is a well-known type dating to the later 4th century (Barber & Bowsher, 2000, p199, B461.3-4; Clarke, 1979, p304, Type C1a). Precious metal examples are far less common, although a gold example is known from York (BM Guide, 1951, fig. 7, no. 10), and a silver example from London (Wheeler, 1930, Pl. XL, 2) Bibliography…

A Roman penannular silver bracelet fragment, comprising part of the slender oval-sectioned hoop, now distorted, and one terminal. The terminal is in the form of a stylised snake-head with neatly-incised jaws, round eyes and skull-markings and hatched sides representing the scaled body. Snake jewellery, with its important symbolism, was popular over a long period, in Roman Britain as in other provinces of the Roman Empire. The slender, relatively realistic form of this snake bracelet is comparable to an example from Stonea, Cambs. (R. Jackson and T.W. Potter Excavations at Stonea, C…
