Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy finger ring. Breaks are old. Estimated internal diameter 22mm. Weight 2.82g. The ring has a very pronounced shoulder and a bezel which has five vertical indentations. However, the sides of the bezel are plain where it joins the shoulder. The bezel which forms a setting for a stone or other decorative material is circular in plan, about 12mm in diameter and about 3-4mm deep. There is no evidence for the setting material. The shoulder which extends beyond the sides of the hoop is elliptical in plan and when viewed from the side, the profile is concave. Only a small portion of the hoop survives and this is triangular in cross-section. Roman, third century. | 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: | 200
