Finger ring</objecttype>
<descriptions>
<description>
<full>A gold object, probably a distorted finger ring of uncertain date.





Curator&#39;s report: A strip of bright yellow pitted gold that has been bent six times forming three rough (un&#45;unintended) loops. The edges of some sections appear to have been worked, being slightly rounded.





Discussion: This strip of gold is long enough to have fitted round a small finger but there are no diagnostic features that could provide a date.





Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre&#45;1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996





Ben Roberts 18th June 2009 Curator of European Bronze Age, British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG Charlotte Veysey (Volunteer)
