Description: | This is a cast copper alloy double ring of some antiquity, dating from perhaps 100 BC, to 150 AD. The ring appears cast in one piece and whilst use as a finger ring cannot be ruled out, it is more likely to have a strap or harness association. Each ring has a 'D' shaped profile. A similar ring is recorded at HESH-EA57F3.The surface has a deep brown patina with some erosion and pitting revealing the green corrosion, typical of bronze disease.
