Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman finger ring, probably third century in date. Only the shoulders, bezel of the ring and glass intaglio survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.The shoulders are 'keeled' or angular and expand to encompass the oval shaped bezel. The bezel itself is raised and has an oval intaglio, made from dark blue glass, set within. This intaglio is taller than the height of the bezel.The fragment measures 21.15mm in external diameter, 16.11mm in internal diameter, 10.82mm in width, 5.57mm in thickness, 3.38g in weight.This is a fragment from a Roman finger ring, probably belonging to Henig's Type VIII Roman rings (Henig, 1974) with similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF-1AEAC2), (SF-729671).
