Description: | Finger-ring made from copper-alloy sheet. The wide bezel flares gently and is slightly domed; it is decorated with unevenly set ring-and-dot motifs. Although there is a lot of corrosion, it appears from the way that the decoration is obscured towards the tapering ends that the sheet was decorated first, and made into a ring subsequently. The tapered ends are bent, showing that they were once twisted around each other, but are now incomplete. Very dark patina with spots of brighter green corrosion. Surviving width at centre of bezel 9 mm; dimensions of the ring as bent when held flat, 27 x 23 mm. Anglo-Scandinavian, 9th to 11th century.
