Description: | Bezel of a Roman finger ring, probably of Henig Type 2. The oval bezel narrows at either end, where slightly thickened shoulders joined the band (now lost). The display face bears an irregular spiral patch of rough material, surrounded by whitish material . This probably represents the degraded remains of enamel, as this class of ring is frequently decorated with concentric patterns in enamel. Early Roman, 100-200. X-ray fluorescence analysis identified the metal of the finger-ring fragment as copper-alloy, with less than 1% precious metal. Dimensions: Length: 15.6 mm; Width: 9.7 mm; Thickness (at shoulder): 2.4 mm;Weight: 1.23 g The precious metal content of the find is below 10% and therefore it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
