Description: | Badly worn copper alloy ring ring with a deliberate cut so it is a C that does not quite join to make an O. It is missing all but a few patches of its original patina and the metal is purpley in colour. It is slightly oval and its diameter is 22x20mm. It is D-shaped in section and 9.5mm wide, max.4mm thick. The gap between the ends is 1mm wide. Weighs 12.61g. It is unlikely this is ancient and is probably post medieval to modern in date, though its use is unknown. Rings are used for a variety of purposes from harness to furniture to belt attachment. However an incomplete ring probably had a more specific purpose and combined with its chunkiness, it may have some modern agricultural significance. | 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: | 1700 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
