Description: | A very badly worn and corroded copper-alloy baldric ring. The ring has a projection, which is broken, originating from the front surface of the main ring. The projection extends for about 6mm away from the main ring. The whole ring appears to have been cast as one piece. The projection would presumably have widened into a knob. The junction of the main ring and projection is defined by a slightly raised lozenge-shaped border. The surface of the artefact is dark green, and heavily pitted. This artefact is likely to have formed part of a baldric, the ring being the means of adjusting the length of the belt. It dates to the late Iron Age. | 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: | -300
