Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy finger ring of Late Roman date.Only the bezel and part of the shoulders survive. The bezel consists of a vertically aligned oval cell containing a damaged piece of silver foil (probably backing for a now-missing gemstone) over a white paste. The rectangular-sectioned shoulders are much narrower than this cell and, like the outer surfaces of the cell, retain traces of gilding.Dimensions: 10mm wide (ring); 9.6mm wide at bezel, 2.9mm thick. Weight: 0.74g.
