Description: | Complete copper alloy finger ring of Post Medieval or Modern date (AD 1600 - AD 1900). Diameter of hoop about 17mm, width of hoop 4.8mm, thickness of hoop 0.4mm. Weight 1.08g.The ring is made from a stamped strip joined with solder to form a hoop. The hoop is flattened and there is an old transverse break where the strip was joined. The exterior surface of the hoop is decorated with repetitive and closely aligned transverse ribs. Overlying the ribbing are two parallel zigzag lines which encircle the hoop. In each of the angles created by the zig zag lines, at each edge of the hoop, is a motif. This motif is, perhaps, intended to represent a flower. The ring is slightly corroded.
