Title
Roman bracelet reused as a finger ring (x2 profiles and a plan).
Description
English: Possible Roman (2nd to early 5th centuries) incomplete cast copper alloy bracelet, reused as a finger ring. Only a fragment of the bracelet remains, and it is rectangular in plan and curved so the terminals have a slight overlap and form a sub-oval ring in plan. The section of the bracelet is a slender D-shape. The exterior and interior surface of the bracelet/finger ring is undecorated. The surfaces have a mid-green patina.

The object measures 15.53mm long, 11.19mm wide, 4.7mm thick, and weighs 1.75g.

Bracelets made into finger rings can be difficult to identify, particularly if the bracelet is undecorated as this example. The item could also a harness fitting or suspension loop. There are undecorated Roman bracelets dating to the 2nd to 4thcentury for example Crummy (1995), Nos. 1640-1650.
