Description: | Copper-alloy ring, perhaps a finger-ring. The hoop is 20.5 mm in external diameter and varies from 4 to 6 mm in width; some of the edges may be missing. In cross-section it is flat and 1 mm thick. It is decorated with two engraved longitudinal lines which, although neatly parallel to each other, are at a slight angle to the edges of the ring. Despite the thinness of the metal it is quite comfortable as a finger-ring; alternatively, it could be a decorative binding ring. There is little about this ring which helps in assigning a date; it could be Roman to post-medieval.
