A short section of a Roman copper alloy bracelet that has been cut and bent into a finger ring dating to c. AD 250-450. The object is formed of a strip of copper alloy. The strip is sub-rectangular in cross section with slightly rounded edges. This strip has been bent into a now mostly circular hoop that overlaps slightly.
