Description: | A complete cast copper alloy ring, possibly an Iron Age baldric ring or strap fitting. The ring is circular, with a circular section. The lower half of the ring shows signs of wear, presumably where the strap has rubbed on the metal. Attached to the upper part of the ring, on one side is a disc shaped button, it projects outwards from the ring at a right angle. The disc is largely flat, but is slightly rounded. The button is undecorated, just like the ring.The button could be a feature used to lock the ring onto a strap (as with PAS database number: SUSS-D82452, SUSS-4C9825, SUSS-4C8491 and SUSS-913C68).
