Description: | A large cast copper alloy ring of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is circular in shape, hexagonal in section with faceted edges, flattened upper and lower surfaces, and filing marks. The ring measures 33mm in external diameter, 23.48mm in internal diameter, 3.94mm in thickness, and weighs 9.72g. Copper alloy rings such as this performed a variety of functions in different contexts, ranging from use as purse rings, curtain rings and in larger examples such as this as horse trappings. Similar, smaller examples are noted in Medieval Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 522-524) that suggest a date between the 15th and 17th centuries for this ring. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
