Description: | A cast copper alloy D-shaped finger ring dating to the Roman period. The finger ring is complete with hoop, shoulder and bezel but is missing the stone/glass setting. The bezel is octagonal in plan and projects from the shoulder prominently. The shoulders increase in width from the hoop of the ring and widen towards the bezel where just before they narrow at a sharp angle and align with the side of the octagonal bezel. The shoulders have two incised lines on either side which run parallel to the sides of the shoulders. The surface is a mid blueish-green colour having almost no corrosion. The finger ring probably dates to the 1st - 2nd Century AD. A similar parallel can be found in Crummy, 1981, p50, no.1791.
