Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring, with a narrow, D-shaped section, probably dating from 1450-1600. There is a narrow groove running around one rim, and traces of another around the opposite rim, though this is largely missing. The main body of the ring is rounded and decorated with groups of incised markings separated by plain sections. The ring has a dark grey patina. It is 21.2mm in diameter and 3.4m thick. It weighs 1.71gm. A similar ring can be found on the database at reference YORYM-F882A3. This finger ring is similar to PAS database records YORYM-7E7DF0, SUSS-3CFCF1, SUSS-3D2CD1, SUSS-9BAEF6 and SUSS-9BD050. YORYM-7E7DF0 is also made of copper alloy, while the other rings were made of gold and it is possible that this is a cheaper copier of these rings. There are no markings on the interior of the finger ring. No joint is visible.
