Description: | Roman copper alloy? and ironstone finger ring, 20mm long, 11mm wide and 6mm thick. The ring is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 5.93grams.
The ring consists of a sub circular bezel which is filled with ironstone. This has a rectangular section and its outer edge is faceted with six rectangular depressions, one on each face, sitting just below the top of the edge. The band has typically Roman shoulders which are pinched in before spreading out to form an oval protrusion. Below this there are small sections of sub rectangular sectioned band. The whole surface of the object is stained by rust and has a brown colour with traces of a more silvered colour on the uunderside of the bezel. It could be a very iron rich alloy? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
