Description: | A complete copper-alloy finger ring of Roman date. The bezel is oval and has raised sides to hold a intaglio or other stone (4.3mm high). A raised band with ropework decoration runs along its circumference. The recess for the intaglio is slightly off centre. The shoulders are broadly triangular and project from the bezel at a forty five degree angle before tapering to form the hoop, which is broken. The shoulders are decorated with two incised lines forming a V which terminate just above the hoop. Due to the break the hoop is slightly distorted.The finger ring is 18.9mm in length, 19.15mm wide, 10.85mm thick at the bezel and 2.45mm thick at the hoop. The finger ring weighs 3.17 grams.
