Description: | Cast copper alloy finger ring of Medieval date. The ring is 18.26mm in diameter, 4.85mm thick and weighs 2.1 grams. The raised bezel area at the top of the hoop is in the form of a moulded buckle and strap. The hoop overlaps the buckle loop on one side, and is underneath on the other side, as if emulating a fastened belt. The buckle frame is a single loop D shape. The buckle pin is slender and is raised above the hoop slightly. The ring has a pale green patina and is slightly corroded. Other finger-rings emulating a belt have been recorded, for example NLM5292 and SUSS-53F3D8, however none are an exact parallel for this ring. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
