Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring of possible Roman date. The hoop of the ring is circular in shape and D-shaped in section. The shoulders widen to the large, flat, oval bezel. The edge of the bezel is decorated with a series of dots. The central image within the bezel is unclear though maybe some form of flower or a zoomorphic design. The reverse of the bezel and the hoop are undecorated. The metal is a dark reddish-brown colour and is worn. The hoop is 22.5mm in diameter and the bezel is 15.9mm long and 13mm wide. The finger ring weighs 4.1g.While it is possible that this finger ring is of Roman date it is also possible that a post-medieval date may be more fitting. Due to the lack of any further contextual evidence it is not possible to date this item any more securely.
