An incomplete copper alloy object, most likely a finger ring of unknown date. The ring has a bezel which is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with a thickness of c. 1.5-2mm. It is curved in profile, which may be a combination of its original shape to fit the curvature of a finger, and post-depositional distortion. At one end, this has a rounded edge which may represent a terminal break. At the other end, it narrows steeply towards a thin hoop, c. 1.5-1.8mm wide. The hoop is heavily distorted and curved back on itself. At the opposite end, it widens again sharply to a small s…
