Description: | A cast in one copper alloy sub-circular ring. Probably Post-Medieval (AD 1500 ? AD 1800). Width 27.0mm, outer diameter of hoop 26.0mm. Weight 2.49g.
The hoop has a width of about 4.5mm and a thickness of about 1.8mm. Both faces are slightly convex. The bezel-like element is oval and its longer length is transverse to the hoop having a length of 8.5mm and a width of 14.2mm. Almost opposite the 'bezel', on the outer face of the hoop, is a small projection which is sub-triangular in shape (as viewed from the side). This feature has the same width as the hoop and projects outwards about 4.0mm. At about 10.0mm distance around the outside of the hoop is another projection of similar form and dimensions. The outer face of the hoop between these two features is straight and flat.
This artefact is corroded and a patchy patina survives in places. The patina ranges in colour from mid-green to black. However, the black areas may be the remains of a lacquer. The metal, where visible, is a reddish colour. | 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: | 1500
