Description: | Incomplete copper alloy finger ring. The incomplete hoop of the ring is split and now bent out of shape. It is semicircular in section with a uniform width. It is decorated with moulded grooves that give it the impression of being ?pinched? at regular intervals. The integral bezel of the ring is oval with gently outward sloping sides. Within the bezel are dark reddy brown and bright orange iron remains. The patina of the copper alloy is an even mid green. The bezel is 15.02mm long, 13.96mm wide and 5.24mm high. The hoop is 3.7mm wide and 2.02mm thick. The ring weighs 5.16g. Judy Rudhoe of the British Museum comments that it is probably post medieval. | 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: | 1500
