RING
Unique ID: SWYOR-1E4468
Object type certainty: Certain
A cast copper-alloy oval ring of a type often suggested to be medieval or post-medieval harness rings (Geake 2001, 74), though they are typically undiagnostic. Further, Geake (ibid., 74) suggests that the broadly hexagonal cross-section which this ring possesses probably indicates a medieval date; it is bevelled externally and internally at the edge. This ring has a maximum internal diameter of 19.97mm. It has a dark-grey patina with small areas of off-white corrosion product and pitting, with an abraded area at one point of the circumference. Both flat surfaces and bevelled areas are covered in file marks.
