Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman finger ring with a missing oval gem or enamelled oval bezel setting. Henig Type II. The remains of the finger ring consist of approximately one-third of the oval bezel and a small portion of the outer bezel and ring band, both fairly thin and flat in profile. No trace of adhesive, enamel or intaglio remain, but this ring was probably inlaid with either type. It measures 14.2mm long, 13.4mm wide, 2.5mm thick and it weighs 1.85 grams. Cf. also Crummy 1983, no. 1786. Similar in shape to PAS records: SF-20D2C1 and SOM-57E1A6. These rings are generally dated to the second or third centuries AD.
