Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Roman finger ring. Only the bezel and part of the hoop survives. The hoop flares to form the oval bezel which is flat and only 1.6mm thick. The bezel is decorated with a central circular cell filled with enamel which is now dark red. This is surrounded by a wide circular cell containing some enamel which is now bright red, and a further narrow circular cell in which there is no enamel surviving. The bezel is 11.5mm wide and there is a crack across it visible on the reverse. Only approximately one third of the hoop survives, some on each side of the bezel. The breaks are worn and now taper to points. The hoop appears to have been oval in section. The surviving fragment of the ring is 21.8mm long. | 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
