Description: | Copper alloy finger ring of uncertain date. The ring is made of wire which is circular in section, 2.7mm in diameter. A short piece of wire has been bent in a circle so the the two ends overlap; both ends have been hammered flat. One end has been hammered into a flat strip, 8.2mm long, 4.7mm wide by 1.4mm thick, the other has just been brought to a wedge shaped end.This type of very simple ring is hard to date, examples are known from the Iron Age onwards. The size and simplicity of this example suggests it may have been made for a child.
