Description: | Cast copper alloy ring of probable Roman - Modern date (50 - 1800). The ring is broadly circular in plan and a flat oval in cross section. There is no obvious cast or incised decoration present. The ring is mostly covered in a light - mid greenish grey patina with patches of the reddish brown alloy still showing. The patination of the metal would suggest a Medieval or later date. The function of the ring is varied and a direct use cannot be attributed.The ring measures 27.3mm in diameter, is a maximum of 3.9mm wide, and a maximum of 2.3mm thick. The internal diameter is 21.0mm. The ring weighs 2.8grams.
