Description: | Cast copper alloy ring of probable Roman - Modern date (50 - 1800). The ring is broadly circular in plan and lentoid (hexagonal) in cross section. There are traces of irregular file marks on several surfaces. There is no obvious cast or incised decoration present. The ring is a mid green colour with a well developed patina which covers all surfaces. The patination of the metal would suggest a medieval or later date. The function of the ring is varied and although it is worn a direct use cannot be attributed.The ring measures 30.6mm in diameter, is 3.5mm wide, and is 2.9mm thick. The internal diameter is 23.5mm. The ring weighs 3.53 grams.
