Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy finger ring, dating to the third century AD. The remaining fragment of the hoop is D sectioned and expands to a small, rectangular shoulder. The bezel is an oval cell. It contains four circular raised knops arranged in a lozenge shape. The cell also contains a white or red paste which may be the remains of enamelling or possibly an adhesive to secure a gem. The underside of the bezel is plain. In the area where the bezel meets the shoulder, the surface has been extensively filed. The bezel measures 11.98mm in length and 9.51mm in width. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
