Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman finger ring. The hoop is oval, with hunched shoulders and an intact intaglio setting, but the intaglio is missing. The hoop has a D-shaped section. It expands and flares on both sides, forming the hunched shoulders. The shoulders are oval and the outer edges of each form a lip on the section. The bezel is raised and oval. The edge of the bezel is flat and dish shaped. It is a light greyish-green colour and pitted. The metal is pitted and a mid greyish-green colour. A similar finger ring can be seen in Johns, p50, Fig: 3.10 and also Crummy, p48, 1780.
