Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring dating from the Roman period. The finger ring is complete with hoop, shoulder and bezel. The translucent pale yellow or green stone or glass setting was detached when found, but has since been restored by the finder. The bezel is hexagonal in plan and projects prominently. The shoulders increase in width from the hoop of the ring and widen towards the bezel where they narrow at a sharp angle and align with the side of the octagonal bezel. The surface is a mid blueish-green colour having almost no corrosion or patina. The finger ring probably dates to the 1st - 2nd Century AD. A similar parallel can be found in Crummy, 1981, p50, no.1791. See also: PAS record ID YORYM-B347D5.
