Description: | A complete cast copper alloy ring of probable Medieval date. The ring measures 24.66mm in external and 17.79 in internal diameter, is hexagonal in section, with faceted edges and extensive tool marks. At one side (top?) the ring demonstrates signs of use/wear to the extent that it has almost worn through completely. It measures 2.05mm in thickness, and weighs 2.33g.
Copper alloy rings like this probably performed a variety of functions over a long period of time, ranging from purse rings, curtain rings and in some larger examples as harness rings. This example is of probable Medieval date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
