Description: | A cast copper-alloy ring of uncertain date. It is possibly a finger ring, although this does not seem likely as the interior of the loop is not smoothed and it has a fairly small diameter (interior 12.9 mm, exterior 19.29 mm). It is more likely that the ring is a strap or harness fitting or some similar object. Such rings were in use throughout history, and so dating it outside of a context is very difficult. It is 3.6 mm high, 2.84 mm thick and weighs 3.4 grams. It has a dark green patina yet where it is corroded it is a paler green and parts have a purple hue.
