Description

Summary: ? Jewellery. Penannular in form, made of thin copper alloy sheet metal of triangular outline, with two ends tapering to thin 'wire' ends twisted together. The outer face is decorated with random stamped dot-and-ring motifs. The delicacy of the metal would suggest it's possible use as a piece of jewellery, either an ear-ring or a ring to secure a hair braid. The dot and ring motif is popular in both Roman and Medieval periods, found during an archaeological excavation at Abbey House, Bradford-on-Avon, by Foundations Archaeology.
