Description: | A flat, oval, copper alloy ring, probably a medieval harness ring. The inner and outer edges of the upper surface of the ring are bevelled making it hexagonal in section. The ends of the oval along the long axis are flattened. These flat sections protrude slightly from the body of the ring and are probably evidence of the ring being cast in a row with others and being cut apart and then not neatly finished. There is wear on the inner surface, particularly at one end. The ring has a dark green patina. It is 27.8mm long, 26mm wide, and 2.7mm thick. It weighs 4.9gm.
