Hello Marloes,

I’m aware of one decent Romano-British example from Winchester, details of which are in the enclosed pdf file, together with a small text on purse rings from the latest Spong Hill volume (an absolute must for anybody dealing with the 5th century AD) and a purse ring from Eriswell in Suffolk, put there largely to show that these are much larger objects. Hope this helps,

Ian Riddler

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
