Description: | Copper-alloy Romano-British finger-ring set with red enamel and possibly another colour, only traces of which now remain. The bezel is diamond shaped (being a 8x8mm square set on its points) with a flat underside and divided into two sections. The innermost section is a smaller diamond outined in copper alloy with a copper alloy dot at its centre surrounded with the remains of red enamel. Around this are traces of another ?red enamel with a copper alloy dot at each point but just inside the edge of the diamond shape. The shoulders are 6mm in width and flared, quickly narrowing to the hoop which at its narrowest point is 1.5mm wide and circular in section. Otherwise the finger-ring is rather more pointed-oval in section. The shoulders point inwards to the nearest diamond point, looking rather like an arrow. From this point is an incised line running for c.10mm with a number of oblique strokes running either side. In profile the finger-ring is slilghtly squashed but not quite D-shaped, with an internal width of 19mm and height of 17mm. Cf Crummy 1983 fig.50 no.1785 for similar style. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
