Description: | Bezel and shoulders from a large finger-ring of Henig's type II/III or Guiraud's type 2. The shoulders flare out unevenly; on both shoulders, the angle on one side is much steeper than the angle on the other. The hoop is 4 mm wide at the furthest break and the bezel is 12 mm wide. Both breaks are old. The bezel has an oval recess for a missing setting, and within this recess is a lot of green corrosion. Apart from this the metal is very grey, and so although it is probably made from copper alloy there can be no certainty. The surviving width across the finger-ring is 23 mm. | Subjects: | gem Henig II and III/ Guiraud 2 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
