Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy finger-ring of Roman date.The upper surface of the bezel contains an oval setting in which a cruciform rib defines four cells of equal size. The cells retain most of their enamel insets, with two diagonally opposed yellow enamels and two red ones. The shoulders taper smoothly into the hoop, the majority of which has been lost in antiquity. The ring measures 21.5mm wide, 11.8mm high at the bezel and weighs 6.4g.Enamelled finger-rings appear to be a product of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. This particular style, classified by Adam Daubney as a Type 3a, is typically found in Central to Eastern England (Daubney 2008: 2).
