Title |
Terminal of Roman snake bracelet (rev.) |
||
Description |
English: Small pen-nib shaped object made from a triangular piece of gold sheet which was curled at the top. The top of the reverse is coated with an unknown white residue/incrustation and both surfaces have been 'decorated' with an assymmetrical crisscross pattern.
The artefact has been identified as the terminal of a Roman snake bracelet (2006/T269), but the identification is questionable. The finder donated the find to the Museum of Lancashire.
British Museum report:
Fragment of sheet gold, probably a terminal from a penannular bracelet. It is shaped like a crude snakes head, and is decorated with simple crude hatching on each side. The metal has been folded at the back where it would originally have been attached to the band. There is a whitish substance inside the fold which looks modern.
Date: possibly Roman, although the style of construction is unusual for snake head bracelets.
Note: as this item is probably more than 300 years old and made substantially of gold, it qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the 1996 Treasure Act. |
