A Roman gold openwork bracelet, now rather crushed and distorted, with dirt still present inside much of the openwork (c. AD 300 - 400). The hoop is flat in profile. The body of the bracelet is decorated with plain edges inside which the decorative zone is divided into four sections by circles inside which are equal-armed crosses with volutes between the arms. Between each of these circles is a repeating pattern of waves just inside the outer edges, which further enclose rows of conjoined hearts that are further subdivided into three polygonal cells.

Object type: VOTIVE MODEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Nottinghamshire
Workflow stage: Published
A small, slender, sub-triangular piece of gold sheet, probably a Roman votive plaque. The two long converging sides appear to have complete edges; the pointed tip is bent; and the base appears to be a broken edge. Four parallel and equally-spaced crease lines running at right angles to the long axis indicate that the object was probably folded and compressed and has, perhaps, recently been 'unfolded'. Despite the surface irregularities caused by the folding and unfolding processes an incised/ repoussé design is visible. It comprises a central rib with angled veining on either si…

Roman oval sheet-gold finger ring setting depicting Vulcan. The repousse design shows Vulcan standing holding tongs in his left hand, and a hammer in his raised right hand above an anvil.
