Description: | Copper-alloy finger-ring of probable medieval date. The ring is very small, at 17.3mm wide by 16.8mm deep, and probably belonged to a child. The design is very simple. The hoop has a semi-circular section and measures 1.3mm high by 1.4mm thick at the back. It increases gradually in height and thickness towards the shoulders and runs smoothly into the bezel. This is sub-rectangular in shape, flat and plain and measures 5.2mm high by 8.2mm wide. There are traces of an adhesive which suggests that the bezel originally had a setting attached. The body of the ring has signs of a black substance on its surface which may be a corroded silvering. The weight of the object is 1.26g. The surfaces are slightly worn and encrusted. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
