Description: | Cast copper-alloy terret ring, external diameter 35mm, internal diameter 20mm, thickness 7mm,weight 27.87g. The terret is plain consisting of a large circular loop, that has a circular cross section. The base of the ring is flat and has been truncated, this is probably were a second smaller loop was attached. Terret rings with a second loop are usually thought to date This terret ring is very similar to an example from the Romano-British settlement at Hacheston (Seeley, 2004, 128-129, fig 89, no 228) and dates to the Roman period.
The condition of this object is very poor as corrosion has removed the original surface and left a heavily pitted layer. | Subjects: | Terret ring | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adams, Kurt - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
