Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring. All that survives of the ring is the bezel, which is a pointed oval shape. A series of concentric vesica-shaped incised lines are visible on the surface of the ring. The rest of the ring does not survive, as the bezel has broken off on both sides just as it turns into the hoop.
The reverse of the bezel is undecorated. The metal is a mid jadey-green colour and is slightly pitted.
The ring does not sit comfortably into a typology so it is difficult to say for sure how old it is. The ring could be either Roman, medieval or post-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: | 43
