RING

Unique ID: CORN-BA12C4

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Pressed copper alloy annular ring, circular in plan and flat in profile and lozenge-shaped in section. The inside edge of the ring retains a ridge which suggests that the ring may have been pressed rather than cast. The remains of an attachment to another metal fitting, possibly a mount, can be seen running along about 6 mm of the outside edge of the ring. Read (2001) illustrates a similar bar mount with annular pendant from South Somerset on page 43, No.374, which is dated to the 17th century.
