Description: | A cast copper alloy annular ring of rounded hexagonal section, probably a harness fitting dating from the Medieval or Post Medieval period, AD 1100 - 1700. It could alos be a brooch or buckle frame. The ring has a light grey green patina. One area is more worn on the outer edge. One face is decorated with oblique transverse grooves, which is an unusual feature. It is 24.7mm diameter, 2.4mm thick and 2.42gm. These are common detector finds, but their function and dating are not well understood (Finds Recording Guide, Geake). Similar harness fittings can be found on the database; another decoated example is SF-8B49E4.
