Title
Bracelet terminal
Description
English: Penannular bracelet terminal fragment in the style of a snake-head. The style of the snake-head may be regarded as naturalistic. The terminal is lozenge-shaped, with its widest point at the position of the eyes. The eyes have been formed by a circular punched mark, possibly on a slightly raised platform and have a linear diagonal incised line above each eye. There is a decorative band (c. 30mm long) filled with V-shaped incised marks running along the head between the eyes. The decorative band stops at a double incised line defining the snout at the terminal and is likely to end in a point behind the snake's head. An incised line on each side of the bracelet, extending as far as the position of the eyes, defines the snake's mouth. Elsewhere, the bracelet appears to be plain, and has a sub-rectangular cross-section. The condition of the metal is poor and contains many small cracks, mostly running along the length of the bracelet, ending in a split at the broken end of the fragment.

The bracelet is likely to fall into John's (1997) Type Ai or Type Bi.
