Description: | A copper alloy medieval (AD c.1350-c.1400) finger ring. The ring is bent out of shape, probably as a result of ploughing, and now is broadly triangular in shape. Overall, it measures 21.4mm long, 16.9mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 1.16g.The ring is formed from a rectangular strip of copper alloy sheeting, measuring 4.3mm by 0.9mm. The two ends of the strip overlap and were soldered together, and there is now a small fragment missing from the join. The outer surface of the ring is patterned on the outside with a repeating sequence of cross pattées and transverse ladder-like patterns. A similar ring can be seen in Egan and Pritchard 1991: p.331-2, no.1624.
