Description: | Cast copper alloy annular suspension ring, circular in plan, profile and section. There is a slight diagonal ridge at one side of the ring, where the two ends of the rod have been soldered together. There is also a slight kink just before the ridge where the ring has been pulled. There are signs of use-wear on the surface in this area, which suggests it was probably fitted through a loop which was attached to furniture, and used as part of a drop handle. Alcock & Hall (1994) illustrate similar examples on page 27, Fig.27, which are dated to the 17th century.
