Description: | A group of three copper alloy undatable rings. The largest is 32.1mm in diameter (internal 25.5mm) and weighs 3.56g. It is flat in section and 2.1mm thick.
The middle ring measures 27mm in diameter (internal 21.2mm) and weighs 4.27g. It is 2.9mm thick with rough casting flashes on internal and outside edges.
The smallest ring measures 24.9mm in diameter (internal 18.5mm) and weighs 1.93g. It is 2.9mm thick with traces of tooling marks.
Rings such as these are undatable, but these probably date to the Late medieval and Post medieval periods. They would have been used probably on belts (and not on harness) for hanging things such as purses or keys. | 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: | 1400
