Description: | Roman copper alloy finger-ring, D-shaped in section and slightly squashed in appearance, with an internal diameter of 16.5mm(widthways)x15.5(heightways)mm. The bezel is circular (c.7mm in diameter) and filled with a ?red enamel : the surface seems smooth but the red enamel only survives in three streaks. Possibly decoration then, with the remaining ?enamel being ?white, or possibly the remaining ?enamel is actually some kind of concretion and the setting was once entirely red. The bezel is flanked on either side by a vertical rib (at 90 degress to the hoop) and the shoulders on the other side of the rib are decorated with four horizontal incised lines each, in imitation of cabling. The hoop narrows from 3.5mm wide at the vertical ribs to 1.5mm wide at the bottom-most point of the hoop. Cf a very similar example in Crummy, 1981, fig.50 no.1785. | 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: | 100
