Terret Ring

Unique ID: YORYM-06B314

A fragment of a cast copper alloy terret ring. The terret has a straight bar, which is sub-rectangular in section. There is a break at this section and the break is very worn. One of the vertical collars can be seen. The collar is flat on the bar side of the collar, but more flared on the side adjacent to the ring. Only the root of one side of the ring survives.
The metal is a dark jade-green colour and is slightly pitted.
A similar terret ring can be seen in MacGregor, fig: 46 onward.
