Surface metal analysis at the British Museum indicated a silver content of approximately 98%, whilst the gold content of the inlay is approximately 88%. The ring has a diameter of 19.9mm, internally 17.4mm. The hoop varies in width between 4.1mm and 5.1mm. The inlaid plug has a diameter of 1.4mm externally, 1.1mm internally. The ring is not easily paralleled, but is probably of Roman 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
