Description: | A copper-alloy probable late Anglo-Saxon finger-ring, now bent out of shape, with terminals missing due to old breaks. It consists of a solid copper-alloy hoop which has a D-shaped cross-section and tapers to a point at the ends; originally the terminals would have overlapped but now they are apart making the hoop U-shaped. It measures 29.73mm in width and 25.95mm in length. The hoop is 6.97mm in thickness at its thickest central point.
Similar finger-rings have been published by A. Goodall in Rogerson and Dallas 1984, fig. 110, one (no. 19) well sealed in a context of 10th- or 11th-century date. Other examples on the PAS database include NMS-892536, SUSS-86A2F1, LIN-82FB84 and NMS-4168E6. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
