Description: | The annular ring is made from cast copper alloy. It is 27mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick and weighs 4.59g. The ring in section is a sub- pointed oval. There are signs of wear on the interior edge of the ring, the wear appears to cover a two opposite portions of the ring. The surface of the ring has a mid green patina. The function of the ring is probably a suspension ring due to the wear patterns. Margeson illustres similar suspension rings, which are possibly curtain rings. These date to the mid 15th to mid 17th centuries.
