Description: | Cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Post Medieval date. The ring consists of a plain band with a flat oval-shaped bezel. The bezel sits atop the band so that there are no distinct shoulders where the two meet. The bevel is decorated with an outer ring of eight ring & dot impressions and one central ring & dot impression. the ring has a mid-green patina and both the band and bezel are slightly bent.Although this ring with its ring and dot design bezel initially looks like it may be of Roman date the shape of the ring, with the bezel being atop the band rather than an integral part of it indicates that it is of a later date.This ring has been dated as probably Post-Medieval c.1500-1600.Dimensions: 21.0mm Diameter; 11.9mm Width (bezel); 17.6mm Length (bezel); 2.9g Weight.
