A possible incomplete copper-alloy finger ring dating to the Roman period. The object is a distorted oval-shaped strip of copper-alloy decorated with ribs on the exterior. The hoop is oval in cross-section and incomplete at both ends. The object appears to be cut down from a Roman bracelet as many other finger rings of this date are.
