Description: | A copper-alloy finger ring of probable Roman to medieval date. A very similar ring was found in Roman levels at Colchester (N. Crummy; 1983; pp. 48; no. 1770), but a close parallel also came from medieval excavations in Winchester (D. Hinton in M. Biddle; 1990; pp. 650; no. 2070).
The hoop measures 21.5mm in diameter, by 2.4mm high and 1.7mm thick. The outer surface is decorated with a repeating pattern of closely-spaced vertical segments. The inner surface is plain.
The object is heavily corroded. It weighs 1.39g. | 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: | 1
