A finger ring, now broken into fragments. The ring is cast with a series of raised platforms or expansions. On these a group of four letters alternate with a series of short parallel grooves arranged diagonally. The letters are difficult to read and their orientations are not clear as the fragments are difficult to piece together with certainty. They appear to be M (or N),S,S,T. The type of metal is not clear. In section it appears to be copper alloy but there is a prominent void in each break - perhaps the product of faulty casting.
