Silver bracelet, diam. 9.5 - 10.0cm. Unusually massive ring of hexagonal section, presumably cast initially - on one side it has been pared off flat, on both faces, probably in recent times. The terminals taper and are of round section, twisted into a typical 'sliding knot' - which doesn't slide however. 8 twists on one side, ten on the other, separated widely.Said to have been found in Kent with the coin of Leo no. M 7386.
