Description: | A fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy finger ring. The fragment consists of part of the oval-shaped bezel and one shoulder, with an oval box setting, now empty. The ring is broken off around the two shoulders, with an irregular break. The remaining shoulder starts to narrow as it moves away from the bezel and is decorated with two incised lines running from the sides of the box setting to probably meet at a point further down the shoulder, now lost. The box setting measures 9.3mm by 9.6mm and the whole fragment measures 12.8 mm by 11.3mm. The fragment weighs 1.27g and is 3.3mm thick, including the stone. The ring is of Guiraud type 4e, dating to the 3rd-4th century AD.
