Description: | Complete copper alloy sewing ring. The outer surface is undecorated. Filing on the inner surfaces and both edges makes it difficult to determine the method of manufacture. Holmes (1999, p.1-3) suggests that sewing rings were in use from c.1450 and those with slightly angled bases, such as this one, tend to be of an earlier date up to c.1550. Diameter at base: 20.01mm, Thickness of walls: 1.59mm, Weight: 5.27g
