Description: | A copper-alloy finger-ring probably of medieval date. The circular hoop is slightly distorted (min. int. dia.: 17.8mm). The bezel is rectangular (8.25 by 7.75mm) and effectively a collet for a (missing) setting housed within a oval recess. In cross-section it is trapezoidal, with an expanded upper surface. The shoulders seem to be decorated with transverse ridges. The artefact has a variable dark green patina over a red-brown metal.
