A small portion of the interior edge is worn making the width narrower. In profile the loop is flat. The surface of the loop has a matte dark grey patina which is slightly abraded. It measures 17.74mm long, 17.74mm wide and is 2.08mm thick. It weighs 1.63g.Similar rings are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002), Figure 138 and No. 1190 and are described as being suspension rings or loop from strap mounts. These are also found suspended from Post Medieval strap mounts, for example WMID-F55813. WMID-B32C92 is an example of a loop being used as a Medieval to early Post Medieval strap distributor.
