Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy ring, probably a finger ring. Internal diameter: 15.6mm; external diameter: 20.1mm; depth: 3.6mm: mass: 2.1g. The finger ring consists of a plain sub-circular hoop which has an oval cross-section. There has been loss of material on portions of the hoop, leaving a pitted, green surface, but otherwise the ring has a smooth green patina. The ring is of generally consistent width and thickness, although there are corroded portions which are narrowed. Finger rings consisting of circular hoops of consistent width and thickness are known from the Roman period (Guiraud type 8) onwards.
