Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy ring of uncertain date and function.Just over half of the ring remains. It is of oval section throughout, although the width and thickness decrease towards one of the broken ends, where the outer surface exhibits several transverse grooves, possibly the result of wear. There are is also a pair of parallel grooves which extends around remaining circumference. It is unclear whether these grooves are decoration or are the unintentional result of finishing or wear. The surfaces have a dark greyish-green patina and are corroded in place. The object measures 31mm in diameter, 4.1mm high and 3.5mm thick. It weighs 4.18g. The patina and general appearance of this piece suggest it is of some antiquity. The function is uncertain; however, the large diameter and convex inner surface would seem to preclude the possibility of it being a finger ring.
