2) Circular in shape, with hexagonal section and extensive tool marks. This example has evidence of casting seams on the interior and a slight rectangular projection to one side, presumably caused during the production process. It measures 23.84mm in external and 18.68mm in internal diameter, and weighs 1.81g.
Rings such as these two examples had a long period of usage and performed a variety of functions. They may have been used during the Medieval period as harness rings, curtain rings or buckle/brooch frames. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
