Description: | Small cast copper alloy finger ring, probably of Late Roman date. The hoop is of irregular D-shaped cross-section and widens as it approaches the shoulders to incorporate the bezel. The bezel is roughly circular and flat, and is slightly stepped from the shoulders. The bezel carries a simple lozenge decorative motif, formed by double incised diagonal lines. Elsewhere the ring is plain. The diameter of the ring may suggest it was constructed for a child. The ring is in good condition with a mid-brown patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
