Description: | Solid cast cu-alloy ring, possibly dating from the Later Bronze or Iron Age or the Roman period, i.e. c. 1000BC-AD410. The ring is simple without any decoration. It was cast in a two-piece mould and not made from a bent cu-alloy rod. The surface is very smooth and the file marks from the filing of the inner casting seam are almost obliterated. There are no longer any indications of casting seams or file marks on the outside. The ring is in very good condition with a chocolate-brown patina and there is only very little stippling/pitting on the outer surface. Cu-alloy rings such as this are very difficult to date, but size, wear and condition indicate that a Later Bronze or Iron Age date is possible. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
