Description: | A cast copper-alloy ring, possibly a finger ring, of Roman or later date. It is circular in form and lozenge shaped in section with a central circumferential ridge on both interior and exterior surfaces. The surfaces have a dark brown patina that is worn and pitted in places, the band narrowing at one side and perhaps suggesting use-wear. It measures 25.50mm in external diameter, 3.18mm in thickness, 4.24mm in height and 3.41g in weight. This is a copper-alloy ring of uncertain Roman or later date. It may have functioned as a simple finger ring but might equally have been utilised as a fitting or attachment for a belt or strap, perhaps related to horse harnesses or similar items. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
