Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Derbyshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy finger ring of probable Roman to early medieval date (c. AD 100 - 900).

There is no obvious weld or joint in the hoop, possibly the ring was cast as one object. The ring is complete but has been distorted into an elliptical…
