Description: | Copper alloyRing fragment. One half of a cast bull ring of rounded section diameter circa 7.5mm, for insertion through the nose of a beast to 'lead it by the nose'; rings were also fitted to prevent pigs from grubbing up soil. One terminal is slotted to receive a flat element as remains on the other end of the object; the object has here broken at the drilled position of a locking pin. A pin or rivet, possibly with its ends beaten flat is retained at the 'male' terminal, and shows where the ring would be hinged. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1750-1850.Diameter: 63.1mm, Thickness (ring): 7.5mm, Weight: 26.41gms.
