Description: | A complete but partly straightened copper-alloy probably late Anglo Saxon finger ring. The terminals taper to a point and would have originally have overlapped, the hoop is lozenge shaped in cross-section, which is unusual as other examples have a circular cross-sectioned hoop, it measures 29.6mm by 26.3mm externally and the hoop is 5mm in width and 5.7mm in thickness at its widest point, it tapers to pointed terminals which are c1.5mm in width. Similar late Anglo-Saxon finger rings have been found elsewhere in Suffolk in Fressingfield, see SF-10850 and SF-2B1A88 and Freckenham, see SF-2AFE75.
