Object type: RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring, likely a horse harness ring dating from the Roman to Post-Medieval era (AD 43-1800). Due to the nature of the find, it is hard to accurately date it unless found in a specific archaeological context. The ring is roughly circular and has an external diameter of 27.79mm and an internal diameter of 21.14mm. The band width is 3.44mm and the thickness is 2.96mm, however it does vary across the ring likely due to wear from use. It has a roughly sub-rectangular cross section. It has a dark green patina and there are no visible signs of decoration.
