Description: | Copper alloy finger ring. Cast D section band with a repeating pattern of lozenges and floral sprays; abraded. The ring has been deliberately misshapen, beuing hammered to a sub-rectangular form which would prevent it being worn. Probably a 'fairing' or item of trinket jewellery, though a little more robust than many examples, so an alternative identification as a mourning ring might be entertained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.Internal Diameter: 18mm, Band Width: 6.8mm, Band Thickness: 1.9mm, Weight: 3.37gms.
