Description: | Cast copper alloy bead or ring. The bead is circular in plan and subtriangular in section having a slightly bevelled side to both upper and lower faces of the bead. There is no evidence of a casting seem and the bead is irregular in shape. It has a circular perforation. Most of the original surface is missing, but a small patch survives with an even mid green patina. Exposed surfaces are fractionally lighter and heavily abraded. The bead has a diameter of 16.38mm, is 8.34mm thick and weighs 8.11g. Beads are difficult to date, but the condition and patination of this object suggest it may have some age. However the perforation is slightly countersunk, which could suggest that it is from a later period and merely heavily worn.
