Description: | A complete cast copper alloy penannular ring of the Late Bronze Age (1150 BC - 750 BC). Length 18mm, width 20mm and maximum thickness 6.6mm. Weight 9.16g.The ring, with fused terminals, is sub-circular in cross-section throughout its length and has a maximum diameter of 7mm. It is in fair condition despite being corroded. Small patches, presumably the original surface, have a light green patina. A microscopic examination has revealed no evidence that the object had a gold coating. However, the object may have been decorated with gold foil or plated with gold originally.
