Description: | Small cast copper alloy finger ring, probably of Late Roman date. The hoop is of oval or D-shaped cross-section and is incorporated into the underside of the integral bezel. The bezel is roughly circular, but appears to have been sub-hexagonal, and has a step forming a border to the flat face. The bezel has a simple punched or incised design of a central circular mark surrounded by five short linear radiating marks. Further decorative marks former a border around the edge of the bezel. Elsewhere the ring is plain. The diameter of the ring may suggest it was constructed for a child. The ring has suffered from some corrosion and the bezel is slightly eroded.
