Description: | Romano-British silver finger ring, with broad carinated shoulders and a raised sub-rectangular bezel which is too worn to determine if it was originally decorated. The shoulders have three converging incised lines. There is a clear scarf join at the bottom of the hoop. The whole ring is very worn, especially around the inside of the hoop, which implies that it was in heavy use before loss or discard.Discussion: Henig's Type VIII. (M Henig, A Corpus of Roman Engraved Gemstones from the British Isles (BAR 8), Oxford 1978).Dimensions: External width: 22.0 mm; external height 19.9 mm; internal width: 17.7 mm; internal height: 15.8 mm.
