A complete gilded copper-alloy and gilded finger-ring of possible post-Medieval date (1500-1800). This ring is circular in plan, convex on the inner and outer faces. Each edge is denticulated. This ring is corroded and has gilding on the inner and outer surfaces. Due to its size and convex inner face, it is probably not a finger-ring.
Outer diameter: 13.0mm; width: 2.9mm; thickness: 1.0mm. Weight: 0.64g.
