Description: | A cast copper alloy brooch fragment or possibly a simple ring. The ring appears to have been circular with a circular section. It is decorated with three sets of three parallel raised lines. Two sets are on one side, one set sits on the opposite side of the ring in between the others. The lines do not extend right the way around the circumference. The metal has a mid greyish-green patina. Due to a lack of contextual evidence it is not possible to date this object, so a precise date for this object can not be guaranteed as it is rather fragmentary and undiagnostic. Copper alloy rings like this one have been used through-out history for everything from harness fittings to clothes fittings. However, it could be the remains of an annular brooch.
