Description: | Small, somewhat worn jet or shale ring probably dating from the Neolithic or Bronze Age. While the ring's out and inner diameters are roughly of the same length overall, one area of the ring is slightly thinner than its opposite, suggesting that this was the place where a leather those or string was attached to it for suspension. If this thinner area of the ring was made that way or changed size with wear is unclear. Obvious signs of wear, however, are missing and this suggests that the ring was meant to be of irregular and assymmetrical shape. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
