Description: | Here we have a copper alloy finger ring of indeterminate date. It may be post medieval but earlier dates cannot be ruled out, indeed it may be Roman. The basic form is worked on an asymmetrical 'D' shaped band that then 'overlaps' in a style similar to the snake or belt configured rings, at the bezel.That said, the bezel design may even form a seal but corrosion has now taken away much of the profile. The ring has a dark green patination with surface corrosion. The band is much thinner opposite the bezel, presumably due to wear, and has possibly been worn on a chain at some point.
