Description: | Complete cast copper alloy medieval finger ring. This ring is very small and probably intended for a child or the tip of a lady?s finger (as is seen carved on effigies of the time). The circular hoop is even in width and thickness with a circular section. The integrally moulded bezel is subcircular with a diameter of 8.3mm and a height of 4.46mm. The bezel is hollow to receive a fitting, which is now missing. There are no signs of fixing adhesive within. The object is abraded, but the original surface survives with an even mid green patina. The internal area of the bezel is lighter green with corrosion. The hoop has an external diameter of 15.26mm and an internal diameter of 10.92mm. The ring weighs 1.75g. | 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: | 1200
