Description: | Roman finger ring; fragment of cast copper alloy finger ring of Roman date. The fragment consists of the bezel and shoulders of the ring. The majority of the band is missing. The bezel is a large, oval setting with traces of whitish paste inside, suggesting that a stone, glass or intaglio was originally mounted in it. There is a slight step just below the collet of the setting and the main bezel is therefore slightly wider than the setting. The band of the ring is very narrow. At the shoulders where the band meets the bezel there is a small moulded circular boss to either side of the band.
Length (total) 23.1mm, length (bezel) 15.4mm, width (bezel) 13.4mm, thickness (bezel) 8.2mm, width (at shoulder) 8.9mm, width (band) 3.1mm, thickness (band) 2.5mm, weight 8.02g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
