Description: | An undatable (but probably Medieval to Post-Medieval) copper alloy multi-purpose ring, variously both square and hexagonal in cross-section. It measures 27.07mm in diameter (internal 19.51mm) and weighs 4.86g. All surfaces of the ring show tooling marks and it is in places unfinished with an uneven casting flash. The patina is smooth, shiny and dark brown in colour, in particular on the inside surface, suggesting it has rubbed against a leather strap.Rings like these are numerous and would have been multi-purpose, eg.for hanging keys from a belt etc.
