Description: | Fragment of a silver Roman finger ring with a pyramidal bezel consisting of a series of diminishing squares, the shoulders consist of two circular knops flanking the loop. The loop has an oval cross-section 2.7mm wide 1.8mm thick. This loop has been truncated, so that only a 11mm section remains on one side, whilst it is completely missing from the other side of the bezel. A similar example has been excavated form South Shields Roman Fort (Allason-Jones L & Miket, 1084, 121-122), and would date to the end of the roman period. In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. This object was subsequently disclaimed as treasure and returned to the finder.
