Description: | A complete, worn, and slightly bent, copper alloy ring. It is circular in approximately section, with perhaps some evidence of tool marks/working and faceted edges. It measures 22.30mm in external diameter, 17.35mm in internal diameter, and weighs 1.96g.Copper alloy rings such as this probably performed a number of uses in association with various different contexts, such as purse rings, curtain rings or even in larger examples as horse trappings. Simple copper alloy rings have a long period of usage, with Roman (Crummy, 1983: pp. 161) and Medieval (Margeson, 1993: pp. 82, nos. 522-524) examples both prevalent. It is uncertain whether this example is of Medieval or earlier date, although the possible faceting and tool marks might indicate a later rather than earlier date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
