Description: | Silver finger-ring of very simple design. The hoop is flat in cross-section, and tapers from 6 mm wide at the bezel to 3.5 mm wide on the opposite side. The bezel is rectangular, 10 x 6 mm, and is decorated with a central engraved lozenge with two transverse lines on either side. In between the two lines on each side are two small oblique lines almost echoing the shape of the central lozenge. The interior surface of the hoop has lots of longitudinal grooves, perhaps caused by filing. The simple construction and decoration of this finger-ring make it hard to date; it is possibly Roman.
