Description: | A cast copper-alloy suspension ring from a Byzantine (Coptic) hanging bowl. The bowl would have been of global form and would have had two decorative attachment escutcheons, one on either side. A similar ring assemblage can be seen in: A corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk, EAA 84, p301, Fig. 2, 156, 157; Pl. I. It is probably 7th Century in date (ibid, p301). Other hanging bowls are known from Yorkshire and the UK.
The suspension ring measures: 32.4mm diameter, 6.9mm width, 6.9mm thickness. It is circular, with a slightly flattened, but circular section. The outer edge of the ring has had a groove cut into it. On one surface of the ring there are three sets of bands of parallel incised lines, set at roughly regular intervals around the ring. The object survives in an excellent condition and have a mid greyish-green, smooth and shiny patina. Very similar to PAS database record No: YORYM-05D224. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
