Cast copper alloy finger ring dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object consists of a simple undecorated hoop which is D-shaped in cross section. There is a small join visible where the hoop was soldered together. The object was possibly inscribed on the inside as a faint impression remains. The remains of gilding can also be seen on the inside of the hoop. The object has a dark brown patina and is worn.
