Description: | Copper alloy ear ring. Cast rounded section penannular object whose band diminishes in its thickness towards opposed sharply pointed ends which almost touch. The finder kindly suggests a Late Saxon date, though the custom of wearing ear rings is better attested for the Roman period, and in subsequent periods often occurred under that influence. A regional parallel is presented by LIN-9E3535, which is ascribed to the Roman period by reference to Allason-Jones Ear-Rings in Roman Britain, and interpreted as of her Type 1, common from the 1st to the 4th century. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.Diameter (long axis): 24.7mm, Thickness: 2.5mm, Weight: 1.37gms.
