Description: | A copper-alloy finger ring made from a cut down bracelet of Late Roman date.The penannular ring is now slightly distorted from its probable original circular form. It has been made from a parallel-sided strip, the upper surface decorated by a longitudinal line of recessed pellets situated between opposing pairs of inward-pointing triangular cut-outs. At one end the sides converge into a plain terminal, which probably represents an original terminal of the bracelet and may be a stylised snake's head. The opposing terminal is formed of a right-angled cut, the pattern continuing right to the end.Dimensions: 28.8mm wide, 26.8mm deep (terminals to back of hoop), 4.1mm high (width of band). Weight: 2.95g.The PAS database contains several finger rings made from Late Roman bracelets, notable examples including BH-7E3800, from Dunstable, Bedfordshire; WILT-D81A23, from Pewsey, and WILT-026A81, from Swindon area (both Wiltshire).
