Description: | A copper alloy Medieval or early Post Medieval (14th to 18th century) curtaining fitting or suspension loop: A copper alloy sub-oval copper alloy ring with a D-shaped section. The outer edge is slightly flattened on one side while on the side opposite is a slight projection. The surface is corroded and pitted.Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson (1993, p. 82, Fig 47, #522-524). Margeson describes them as being suspension rings which were probably multi-functional, including curtain rings. The three excavated from Norwich (No. 522-524) date from the mid-15th to mid-17th century. Egan (pers comm) suggested they date from the 14th to 18th century and there is evidence they were used as curtain rings.Margeson, S. 1993 Norwich Households: The Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-1978.
