Description: | A cast (machine pressed) copper-alloy broken circular ring, with openwork decoration taking the form of a linked chain. The object is unlikely to be a finger ring, as the machine pressed grooves on the interior would make it uncomfortable to wear. It is more likely to be a decorative ferrule of some sort, but what it was originally attached to is uncertain. Traces of gilding survive on the exterior surface. It is probably 18th or 19th century in date.
