Lead finger ring of unknown date. The bezel of the ring is significantly damaged, so it is not possible to distinguish how the bezel may have looked. The band of the ring is in two halves one overlapping the other, the size of the band is very small.

An incomplete lead or lead alloy finger ring probably Roman in date and therefore either a cheaper version of a precious metal/bronze finger ring or possibly a lead pattern used to design and as a template for other metal finger rings. Only the bezel and fragments of the shoulders of this finger ring survives. The bezel is hexagonal in shape and hollow measuring 16mm in length and 15mm in width. The shoulders are decorated with openwork holes, which seem to be in rows of four.
