Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy, finger ring of uncertain date, AD.43-1900. The object comprises the band of a copper alloy ring with a single straight break through it. The band is D shaped in cross section and of relatively even thickness and width around its circuit. The break likely represents the soldering point of the ring that has corroded and given way. The ring lacks any diagnostic features or markings and out of context is effectively impossible to date accurately.
