Description: | An incomplete copper alloy finger ring of Unknown date. Length 14.0mm, width 15.0mm and 1.3mm thick. Weight 2.67g.
The ring is misshapen and the lower part of the hoop is missing due to old breaks. Each side of the hoop appears to have flared gently and then expanded sligthly to form a flat bezel. The bezel and also the sides of the hoop are decorated with shallow parallel grooves which are also parallel to the edges of the hoop. On the face of the bezel, the intact part of the ring, there are seven grooves. Traces of gilding survive within each of the grooves. The object appears to be made from sheet metal.
This fractured and corroded finger ring is in poor condition and requires conservation treatment. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
