Description: | Fragment of Romano-British, shale or jet finger ring. This fragment represents just under half of the original hoop of the ring. This portion of hoop is flat on the inner face but ridged on the outer face which in effect forms seven domes. Presumably it was ridged around the entire circumference. The fragment thickens and broadens at one end, suggesting that the hoop be worn with the larger part on top of the finger. The ring fragment has been abraded and is a dull black colour. Where the original surface is damaged, patches of orange can be seen, notably between the ridges and on the inner face of the hoop. The broken ends, though not smooth, are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity, The fragment has a surviving length of 22.5mm. It is 8.28mm wide at the broad end and 5.26mm thick. At the narrow end it is 5.78mm wide and 3.9mm thick. It weighs 1.51g.
