Description: | A cast copper-alloy ring possibly of Iron Age date. The ring is broadly circular, tending slightly towards an ellipse. It features a circular perforation that is off centre (Dia.: c. 11.8mm). One side of the hole is both thicker (Th.: 5.7mm, compared to 3.5mm) and wider (5.3mm, compared to 3.1mm). The ring has a shiny dark-green patina with occasional pitting. The patina suggests an Iron Age date, although a date in the Bronze Age cannot be ruled out. Such rings might have been associated with scabbard straps or harnesses. A ring recorded on this database, SUSS-F2DF27, has a comparable form and cross-references other similar objects.
