Description: | Cast copper-alloy ring. This ring has a circular sectioned hoop. It has an even dark green patina with a silvery sheen. Exposed surfaces are lighter green. The ring has an external diameter of 35.42mm with an internal diameter of 18.5mm. The hoop is 7.04mm thick and 8.16mm wide. The ring weighs 24.85g.
Copper-alloy rings found in isolation are hard to date with any accuracy. However, this ring is unlikely to be Bronze Age, as rings of this period are usually hollow with a casting seam. The ring recorded here is robust and solid but has some age. It is probably a Late Iron Age or Roman harness ring, though it cannot be ruled out that it is of a much later date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
