Description: | The corroded bezel from a cast copper-alloy finger-ring of probable Roman date. The fragment is broadly hexagonal in plan. The upper surface of the ring has a large oval recess (10.0 x 8.4mm) which would have taken a setting; probable traces of adhesive are visible. The shoulders are slightly bevelled. The ring has been broken on both sides below the shoulders, but it is clear that the hoop was not very wide. Assuming this finger-ring is Roman in date it is best classified as a Guirard Type 2 (Henig Type II/III). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
