RING
Unique ID: SF3529
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Copper-alloy ring, now broken at one point around the circumference. The section is a smooth oval, 3 x 4 mm, and the diameter is c. 24 mm. There is a polished grey-green patina. The break in the ring is L-shaped, and to one side has caused a longitudinal central split. Because of this, it seems possible that the ring was made by hammering rather than casting, and that a line of weakness remains around the centre. The ring looks old, but is not really datable.
