Description: | Copper-alloy object consisting of a ring on a stem with a collar and loop at the other end. The ring is 16 mm in external diameter, and is flattish in cross-section with oblique ribbed decoration on either face. It is now a little bent at its junction with the stem, but this is probably due to later damage. The ring curves in gently to the stem, which also has worn low-relief decoration on either face. The stem has the same flattish pointed-oval cross-section as the ring, and there is a casting seam down either side. The stem then curves out again to a transversely set oval collar, 7 x 8 mm, with another smaller collar below. On the underside is a D-shaped projection with a circular hole in it. There is a rough green and brown patina. The function and date of this object is unknown; it may be relatively recent.
