Post Medieval copper alloy finger ring in the form of a belt, probably a 'fairing' ring. Fairing rings were cheaply made finger rings given as prizes, or sold, at rural fairs, or sold by tinkers etc. Many are found at sites traditionally associated with fairs. Some of the bands decoration has been lost to corrosion. When new, fairing rings would have been polished up and made to appear golden in colour. They vary greatly in design. Some copy older traditional designs, other decorative motifs seem to occur only on low cost copper alloy rings. Interestingly, a number of the forms…

A copper alloy possible polyhedral weight. It is basically a cylindrical shape but is faceted unevenly on all sides. Half of the faces have a pattern of parallel lines on them. Overall it has an even green patina, the incised lines have orange soil in them. It has a sheen to it and if made of lead this would be unusual, it is suspected though because of the weight that it is a lead alloy but with a greater proportion of another metal in it, hence designation as copper alloy. The weight falls between both the Scandinavian and Dublin Viking unit weight systems. Similar weights …
