Description: | A copper-alloy finger ring of probable post-medieval date, likely to date from either the 17th or 18th centuries AD. The oval hoop has a D shaped cross section and is now bent out of shape. There is a square bezel (7mm wide) with an oval recess into which a white paste remains, probably once an enamel setting. The shoulders of the ring are decorated with three transverse groves on either side before narrowing toward the hoop which is 1.8mm thick. The ring is much abraded and has a green to brown patina. The ring is 18.9mm in diameter and weighs 1.14 grams.
