A lead alloy finger ring. The band is flat in section, and widens out gradually to form an oval shaped bezel. This in turn is is pyramidal, coming to a soft point in the centre. This point forms the middle of a flower, around which are impressed eight circular petals, spaced at regular intervals. It has an even grey patina, in the petals there is a brown residue which may be the remains of a colouring of some sort. Althpugh the shape may indicate a Roman period firn, the decoration and material would suggest that it is likely to be a more modern trinket ring, see for example NLM-A…
