Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Copper alloy possible finger ring fragment. Cast D section band, thickest at its worn bezel which now appears as a rounded protruberance almost indistinguishable from the band. The hoop narrows from the shoulders, and an uncertain extent opposite the bezel is lost. What remains has probably been lightly splayed. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.
