Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy finger ring or pipe tamper, dating from the post-Medieval period.The bezel, which probably served as a seal matrix, is oval and bears an unclear image (possibly a dolphin and star), executed in negative relief. The shoulders taper sharply, and little remains of the thin-sectioned hoop.Dimensions: 19.7mm wide, 12.7mm high at bezel. Weight: 3.07g.The form of this piece suggests it may be part of the hoop from a seal-top pipe tamper, complete examples of which are illustrated by Gordon Bailey (1999: 60-61, nos. 12 and 13).
