Romano-British silver finger ring, with broad carinated shoulders and a raised sub-rectangular bezel which is too worn to determine if it was originally decorated. The shoulders have three converging incised lines. There is a clear scarf join at the bottom of the hoop. The whole ring is very worn, especially around the inside of the hoop, which implies that it was in heavy use before loss or discard.
