Description: | Probably Roman copper alloy snake finger ring, slightly squashed and measuring 16.7x21.2mm in diameter and weighing 3.47g.The hoop consists of the body of a snake, narrower and flatter at one end, bent in a circle to overlap a wider and slightly rounded head with projecting ?tongue.At the narrower end, the 'tail' is flattened (3.5mm wide, 0.7mm thick). This changes to 2.7mm wide and 1.8mm thick for much of the hoop, widening towards the diamond-shaped head where it is max.6.4mm wide (and 2.3mm thick). A projection, possibly a tongue, extends 3.3mm from the head, and is slightly curving. It is 2.2mm wide and 1.6mm thick.
