Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy finger-ring with enamel decoration of Daubney's Type 4a, with a circular, concentric-ring type bezel. The fragment measures 12.8mm long and weighs 0.7g.
The bezel is circular (7.7mm in diameter) and 1.5mm thick, with a (now khaki green) enamel spot at the centre. This is surrounded by a copper alloy concentric ring decorated with transverse grooves, also filled with enamel to give a 'sunburst' design. Around this is a further area/ ring (1.6mm wide) of khaki green enamel before the copper alloy edge of the bezel.
Either side of the bezel is a short, narrow projection c.2x1mm, broken on one side but on the other leading to a 3.6mm diameter empty collet, which presumably originally held enamel. A broken projection square in section and 1.6x1.6mm extends frm the other side.
