Description: | A cast copper alloy ring of uncertain date, but most likely medieval or post-medieval. The slightly oval ring has a maximum diameter of 15.4mm, a hoop width of 2mm, a thickness of 1.9mm and weighs 0.8g. It has a flattened circular cross-section. Functional rings such as this one may have had various uses such as harness fittings or loops affixed to other type of straps. This example has some wear, both inside and outside, at points on opposite sides. There is also a patch or iron corrosion on one side perpendicular to the wear suggesting that the ring formed part of a composite fitting.
