Description: | A copper-alloy cast ring with a hexagonal cross-section measuring 26mm in external diameter and 18.7mm in internal diameter. This ring has a slightly flattened worn edge which may imply that it originally functioned as a crude buckle or brooch frame and this area could have been where the pin was orginally attached to the frame via an open loop. Many rings with hexagonal cross-sections are found in Suffolk and other possibly uses include harness fittings. It is believed that they are most likely to be medieval in date. | 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
