Description: | A small copper alloy cast harness ring of uncertain date. The ring is a sub-circular loop which is rectangular in section. The outer edge is an odd shape compared to the circular inner edge. This is due to the different degrees of wearing. There are two opposing points on the ring that are worn significantly more than the rest. These are most likely the points where items such as bridles and halters would have been attached. It measures 19.7mm diameter x 2.5mm, weighing 1.83g. The metal has a dark brown patina. Very functional objects like this are difficult to date since their design does not change. This example was found in an area where many Early Medieval objects are found, but it could be significantly later in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ward, Stuart | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
