Description: | The object is a sub-circular ring or loop, with a sub pointed oval section. The ring is made from cast copper alloy. One portion, on the interior edge, is worn, and is therefore slightly narrowed. The surface has traces of a mid green patina. It measures 23.17mm diameter externally and 15.78mm internally. The thickness is 3.1mm. It weighs 3.3g. Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson's, (1993) Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58. Margeson describes them as being suspension rings which were probably multi-functional, including curtain rings. The three excavated (No. 522-524) date from the mid 15th to mid 17th century.
