TREASURE CASE 2012 T182 Finger ring fragment
Date: Undiagnostic
Description: fragment of a silver-gilt finger-ring, a broad flat band incised on exterior with a double row of dots.
Dimensions: Weight: 1.3g
Length: 20.81mm
Width: 5.90mm
Thickness: 0.73mm
Discussion: this ring fragment is undiagnostic in nature and cannot be securely dated to a specific period. Compare PAS-FFCC17.
Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1712 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
