Roman shale bracelet
Length of shale of rectangular section. Incised oblique lines across the convex outer face encroach on both flat sides and are clearly intended to copy the more common cable-effect bracelets. Parallels where the inner face is left plain are known from Cologne (Hagen 1937, Taf 23, Abb 1, Bio1) and Silchester (Lawson 1975, 252, No 34; 254, Nos 45 a and b). Both these examples are dated to the 4th century. Condition: broken at both ends.
