A complete copper alloy finger ring probably dating to the Modern period (c. AD 1900-2000).The object is comprised of a sheet of hammered metal bent round to form a ring with the two ends overlapping and soldered together. The ring is decorated with a rough hammered pattern giving the impression of an uneven surface and rough edges. The band is slightly thinner just after the overlap but widens across the rest of the band. The object has a yellow metal coating.
