A small worn copper alloy Roman finger ring, of Guiraud Type 4f (similar to Henig Type II) and dating from the third to early fifth century AD. The finger ring has a round, narrow hoop and a large circular bezel, which has a recess for a stone or paste setting which is now missing. The size of the ring suggests it may have been worn on the end of the finger, or was for use by a child.
