Description: | Cast copper-alloy finger-ring, probably related to Henig's type X and dating from the late Roman period, i.e. the 3rd century AD. The bezel and most of the hoop survive, but the inlaid gemstone or intaglio are missing. The cavity that remains is circular and just under a millimetre deep. The bezel is fairly chunky compared to the remaining part of the hoop. The bezel has four additional semi-circular mouldings resembling petals of a flower. Also, judging from what remains of the original patina, the ring may have been silvered or coated with white metal.
