Description: | A complete copper-alloy finger ring. This finger ring consists of a plain hoop which is rectangular in cross-section and measures 16.8mm in external diameter and 14mm in internal diameter. One half of the hoop is thinner than the other, implying that although there is no bezel as such the wider half of the hoop is its front, especially as it is only on this half of the hoop can any decoration be seen. It is here decorated with small almost vertical grooves. This finger ring is difficult to date as it is so plain, however, it is similar to a Roman copper-alloy finger ring discovered at Hatcheston. This parallel and the wear and light green patina of the finger ring could therefore suggest a Roman rather than a medieval date. | 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
