Description: | A copper alloy Roman finger ring. The ring has a rectangular-sectioned hoop that widens considerably to form flat triangular shoulders, with a slight step between the hoop and the start of the thicker shoulder. The shoulders are angled to form a narrow flat surface surrounding the bezel, with a scrolled edge. An incised line in the centre of each shoulder splits to form a V each side of the bezel. The bezel is in the form of an oval box that is likely to have been set with an intaglio or plain gemstone. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
