Description: | A child's finger ring made of copper-alloy from the Post-Medieval period. The ring has been made from a length of copper-alloy (approx. 2.9mm thick). The metal strip has been decoratively twisted. The joint, where the two ends of the copper-ally meet is still evident. The strip of copper-alloy has been decorated with between 3-5 rows of pellets, which have been arranged in diagonal lines across the strip. The ring is quite small (in diameter) so it is likely to have been a child's ring. The ring is complete, though quite worn. The metal has a dark blackish-brown patina with a white substance evident in the twisted, this is most likely to have been caused by the corrosion of the metal or by the ring coming into contact with something in the ground.
