Description: | Lead alloy and iron possible Finger Ring fragment. Drawn wire band fragment to which is soldered a tiny flat oval disc of length 8mm to serve as a bezel. Most of the hoop is lost, and whitish corrosion products cover the bezel and its union with the wire band. Probably for a child; this object is even cruder than the simple rings considered likely to be 'fairings' or items of trinket jewellery. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.Length: 13.1mm, Diameter (of wire): 1.4mm, Width (bezel): 6.8mm, Thickness (bezel): 1.1mm, Weight: 0.43gms.
