Dear all,
 
Thanks for all your comments thus far. I forgot to mention that it is elephant Ivory.
 
Best, Marloes

Dear Maroles,
     We have several examples from a mummy grave excavated on the outskirts of Aquincum. There are smaller examples from graves of the Western cemetery of the Military in Aquincum.  I think this must be quite a common bracelet type for the late roman period at least.
 
Cheers,
Alice

Dear all, 

During excavations of a Roman villa in the Netherlands a pit has been excavated which contains metal weaponry from the late iron age. In this pit a fragment of an ivory ring or bracelet (?) has been found. It has an estimated diameter of 8 cm, the thickness is 5,8 x 6,7 mm.

Does anyone know of any parallels or references or anything else? Early medieval examples are welcome too. 

Best wishes,
Marloes
