Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring, with an integral bezel. The hoop survives intact and has a moulded D-shaped cross-section. The shoulders of the bezel have been decorated with two moulded collars, either side of the collars there are linear incised lines. The hoop is mis-shaped.
The bezel itself is set proud of the hoop, it is large and circular and measures 10.8mm in diameter.
There are two collars around the bezels exterior. The bezel is hollow as it would once have held a stone or setting. There are eight triangular claws surviving on the apex of the bezel which would have held this setting in place. Some of the claws are damaged.
The copper alloy is a dark greenish-brown colour.
This finger ring is likely to date to the post-medieval period.
