Description: | Large, incomplete copper alloy stirrup-shaped finger ring. Much of the hoop is missing and the remaining section is badly bent on one side. The hoop is wide with convex surfaces so that it is pointed-oval shaped in section. The hoop becomes wider at the shoulders, and rises to form the thick bezel. The bezel has a large oval recess; the setting is missing. There are four ridges which extend from the edge of the recess. Two are located in the centre at each end and taper out at the shoulders of the ring. The other two extend from the centre of the sides and join on the reverse of the bezel where they cross a second slight ridge. This second ridge tapers out at the reverse of the shoulders. Stirrup-shaped rings are so-called due to the shape of the hoop. | 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: | 1250
