Description: | A complete but slightly squashed copper alloy Modern finger-ring, (presumably) dated 1885. It measures 22.52 mm in height and 25.62 mm in width, the inside diameter measuring 22.97mm. It is 11.06 mm wide at its bezel, but narrows to 4.6 mm at the back of the hoop. It weighs 5.35g.Apart from the slightly bent band which has caused it to be wider to the sides and shorter in height, the ring is complete and in good condition. The band widens to a sub-rectangular bezel which is engraved in the centre with a cross flanked by what appear to sun rays (or possibly palm leaves) and two dots. The date 1885 is engraved beneath. The shoulders are decorated with a symmetrical pattern of engraved lines that extend from the bezel in a circular shape. Beneath this, engraved lines form a star shape and three horizontal lines separate this decorative section from where it tapers off to a plain band.It is dull brown in colour.
