Description: | Cast copper alloy ring; lozenge-shaped in section, traces of invasive corrosion on outer surface.
Helen Geake writes: Although a date of 500-800 AD was originally suggested for this object, and there are parallels drawn with rings from certain early Anglo-Saxon contexts (see reference below), a ring of this diameter and cross-section seems more likely to be medieval. It may be the frame from a brooch or buckle, or from harness, or have had many other uses. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
