Description: | A cast-bronze ring of the Roman period, used as either a finger ring (for the 2nd knuckle) or as a terret ring.
The ring is very thick (8mm diameter in some places) and would not easily fit on an adult's finger, suggesting it would fit on the second knuckle.
The top or base of the ring has a flattened surface in the shape of a pointed oval with possible decoration. If it is decoration, it cannot be recognized, but it may also be remains of soldering to a base if the ring was a terret ring. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
