Description: | An object similar to a finger ring but with a curious method of attachment. The object comprises a flat strip bent to form a semi-circle. The central part is expanded in a similar fashion to a finger ring and supports a separate circular hollow 'bezel' which is secured by a rivet, visible through a break, and which has a central well. One end of the object is turned back on itself and bifurcates to form a fork and originally appears to have held a pin to secure a hinged fitting (?now missing). The other terminal (now a separate piece)forms a tongue in which there is a small circular aperture. There are traces of gilding around the 'bezel'. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | David Williams | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
