FINGER RING

Unique ID: LVPL893

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

Large copper alloy bezel of finger ring. Rectangular in outline and containing remnants of white paste. Beading around the top. The edge is decorated with diagonal incised lines. The underside of the bezel is a rectangular in outline rounded plinth which is decorated with radiating incised lines. The point where the ring was attached to the plinth is visible as two circles of iron staining, which suggests that the ring itself was iron. The bezel would have stood quite proud of the finger.
