FINGER RING

Unique ID: SUSS-B8F105

Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment of cast copper-alloy that is probably a Roman finger ring. It is also possible that it is a fragment of a bracelet from the same period. The fragment consists of a small sub-triangular band of metal, which is roughly oval in cross-section at one broken edge and pointed and sub-oval in cross-section at the other end. The metal is of an even dark green patina. No traces of particularly diagnostic parts are intact. The fragment measures 16.1 mm long, 9.2 mm maximum width, 5.3 mm maximum thickness and weighs 3.2 grams.
