Description: | Cast copper alloy ring. The ring is circular in plan and semicircular in section. There is no evidence of a casting seem and the ring is regular in shape. It has a wide circular perforation. Most of the original surface survives with an even dark green patina. It is slightly worn and pitted with exposed surfaces being light green with tiny flecks of orange corrosion. The ring has a diameter of 15.08mm, is 6.3mm thick and weighs 8.11g. The perforation has an internal diameter of 8.94mm. Rings are difficult to date. The object recorded here is regular and appears to be more of a fitting rather than a decorative bead-like object. The patination could suggest it has some age, but ultimately its dating is inconclusive. | 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: | Caroline McDonald | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
