Description: | Unidentified copper-alloy object, perhaps the bezel from a finger-ring. It is oval and measures 15.5 x 14 mm. It is flat, 2 mm thick, with bevelled edges giving a trapezoidal cross-section. Each face has a sunken centre; the smaller face is neatly made and is presumably designed to take a setting, and the larger face is less neatly made although very flat around the edges. There are no scars anywhere around the sides, although there are some white encrustations which may be decayed solder. There are some hints of a white-metal coating around the recess on the smaller face. It is the right size and shape for a Roman finger-ring, but it is not clear why a bezel should have been made separately. | 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: | 43
