Description: | Copper alloy apparantly hollow ring, made in two halves. The internal diameter is 11mm and it becomes wider and thicker (max.9.5x10.5) from the narrowest part (min.6.5x7mm). External diameter is 27mm. Weighs 9.25g. Around the circumferencial join possible decoration is evident in the form of tiny grooves perpendicular to the join, but only on one half. There is a slight gap between the two halves, ??possibly filled with a decorative precious metal strip? The join on the internal surface is closed. Possibly the inside is filled with ??clay. The patina is a rich brown in colour and pitted. Given this, possibly Bronze or Iron Age in the absense of any other dating evidence. | 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: | -2150
