Description: | A copper alloy annular ring of uncertain date, from the Late Bronze Age to the post-medieval period (c. 1000 BC - AD 1900). Much of the original patina is missing but where it survives it is a green-brown colour, smooth and shiny.The ring measures 60.2mm in diameter (internal 45.6mm) with an area of abrasion to the inside edge c.8mm in width, possibly caused by suspension. It is max.4.6mm thick. In cross-section the ring is triangular, with a point at the outside edge and a short (and slightly convex) edge to the inside surface of the ring. It weighs 30.04g.The large diameter of the ring suggests use with horse harness, or possibly as a vessel handle.
