Description: | Cast copper alloy finger ring internal height 19mm, diameter 18mm thickness of frame 2mm. Sub oval shape, the bevel is flat with a moulded triangular projection in the centre, on the top of which is a teardrop shaped moulding. The shoulders of the bezel are angled and rapidly decrease in width to the loop, which has an circular cross-section 2mm in diameter. The artefact is heavily corroded resulting in the loss of most of the original surface.
This artefact dates from 100-400AD
A ring of similar construction of triangular shoulders which were at an angle to the bezel was found in Cirencester and dated to the 3rd century.
