A copper alloy ring of possible Late Bronze Age to Roman date, circa AD 700 BC - AD 100). The object was possibly used as a harness ring or strap distributor. However, they may have a variety of uses. The internal edges have differential wear so some sort of strap possibly passed through it and has worn the internal bevelled edges. The ring is rhombus shaped in cross section and circular in plan. The internal edges are bevelled. The object has a dark green coloured surface patina. The surfaces are worn and abraded. There are many parallels recorded on the PAS databa…

Copper alloy ring fragment. Cast ring or loop of uneven rounded section, thickest at the midpoint of its curve and narrower at its two broken ends, one of which is either worn or flattened; it is uncertain whether the form was distorted by stress which led to its breakage, or whether it was always irregular. Polished by prolonged wear or by contact with textile, which has smoothed one broken end though the other break post-dates this and appears fresh and recent.
