Description: | Copper alloy chunky ring, possibly Iron Age in date and probably part of harness. The patina is dark brown and shiny, but about half the object is covered in a light green corrosion, in places eating through the shiny surface and leaving pock marks. One edge has a recent 10.5mm long filed area, revealing a shiny brassy colour underneath. The ring is roughly circular in section, but also slightly angular, so a little square- or diamond-shaped too. A 2mm wide, 1mm high midrib runs the circumference of the outer surface (flanked either side with an incised line) and this again changes the section. The external diameter is 23.5mm, the internal c.12mm. It weighs 10.99g. Cf. two other examples from Wiltshire, WILT-FD19E0 and -725FF2. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
