Description: | A complete cast copper alloy ring, probably dating to the Post Medieval period between AD 1600 - 1900 (diameter: 22.5mm; thickness of metal: 1.5mm; weight: 3.96g).The ring has a circular and rectangular-sectioned hoop which expands into a large but flat sub-rectangular bezel (length: 15.5mm; approximate width of bezel: 18mm). At either side of the neck of the bezel, there is a singular chevron pointing to upwards and to the centre of the bezel. Additionally, there is a singular incised line (running down the length of the bezel) either side of an irregularly incised diamond in the centre of the bezel. There is no other decoration on the artefact. Overall, the ring is in a slightly worn and fair condition with small areas of bronze disease on the hoop and a dark green patina.
