Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy finger ring of Roman date. Only the bezel and parts of the shoulders survive intact, the remainder of the ring now missing due to old breaks. The shoulders are oval shaped in section, triangular in profile and expand towards the bezel. The bezel itself is oval shaped and expands to the edges of the band. It has an oval shaped recessed field containing the remains of red/pink enamel or paste that is incomplete and heavily corroded due to post-deposiitonal damage. This finger ring measures 19.15mm in length, 8.75mm in width, 2.26mm in thickness, and weighs 1.88g.This is a fragment from a Roman finger ring similar to Henig Type II rings (Henig, 1974). This would suggest a date in the 1st-3rd centuries AD for the current example.
