Description: | A cast copper alloy ring, possibly Iron Age to Roman in date, of uncertain function.
It is possibly that this ring was used on carts or chariots, as it resembles other Iron Age fittings. It is formed from a circular loop, with a circular section. There is an integrally cast bezel-like fitting. It sits proud of the ring and has a circular face, which is indented, but it is not clear why.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and it is pitted. The colour and feel of the metal are reminiscent of other Iron Age to early Roman metalwork found in the area. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Morris, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
