Description: | Cast copper alloy ring. The ring has a flat top and bottom, curved inner side and an outer side expanded into a point. It is of slightly irregular width with coarse file marks around the outer edge and in places on the top and bottom. It is 24.1mm in external diameter, 2.9mm wide by 1.7mm thick and weighs 1.99 grams. Such rings are very hard to date and had a variety of uses, most are suspension rings of some form from straps and harnesses or possibly curtain rings. Geake (2001:74) suggests those with pointed outer sides and coarse file marks are probably Medieval or early Post Medieval. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
