Description: | Cast copper alloy ring of probable Roman - Modern date (50 - 1800). The ring is broadly circular in plan (with faceted edges) and is oval in cross section. There is no obvious cast or incised decoration present. A small projecting tab of metal is present on the inner surface of the ring. The external surface is amid greenish brown colour with a relatively well preserved patina. The patination of the metal would suggest a post medieval date. The function of the ring is varied; although it is worn, a direct use cannot be attributed.The ring measures 26.8mm in diameter, the frame is 3.0mm wide, and is 3.8mm thick. The internal diameter is 19.8mm. The ring weighs 6.17 grams
