Roman : Bracelet |
||
| Description |
English: A fragment of a probable glass bracelet of Roman date, c.AD 100 - 400. All that remains is a circular sectioned strip of plain blue glass, broken at both ends. The fragment is likely to be the central decorative strip which would have been fitted into a recess on the bracelet proper.
The bracelet is 32.3mm long, 3.5mm in diameter and weighs 0.8g. Bracelets and bangles of a variety of materials, including metal, jet and shale are a particularly common find on Romano-British sites. Johns (1996, 121) suggests coloured glass bangles were at the height of fashion in the earlier centuries of Roman occupation in Britain. Additionally H. E. Kilbride-Jones created a detailed typology of early Roman glass bangles in 1938. To create them, molten glass would be rolled out on a cool surface, such as marble, and the main bracelet would have to maintain a temperature which would allow the second piece, the darker strip, to be added without causing the glass to shatter. Despite this, such bracelets were easy and fast to manufacture. Their use remains unclear and while it is possible they were worn as arm or leg ornaments, they may also have had a more specialised use not currently understood. Currently 13 glass bangle fragments are recorded on the PAS database. Six of these are from the East Riding of Yorkshire (YORYM-620A34, YORYM-B985BA, YORYM-6EC79C, YORYM-7325B6, FAKL-C8D895, YORYM160), two from North Yorkshire (SWYOR-2A4D36 and YORYM-6D12A7) two from Lincolnshire (NCL-A8FD74 and LIN-E2A761) and one from each of the following counties: Durham (NCL-8B5644), Doncaster (SWYOR-65B384), and North Lincolnshire (NLM-9E8743). <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/search/results/objecttype/BRACELET/broadperiod/ROMAN/material/18">https://finds.org.uk/database/search/results/objecttype/BRACELET/broadperiod/ROMAN/material/18</a>. |
