Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published Find published
Copper-alloy ring, now broken at one point around the circumference. The section is a smooth oval, 3 x 4 mm, and the diameter is c. 24 mm. There is a polished grey-green patina. The break in the ring is L-shaped, and to one side has caused a longitudinal central split. Because of this, it seems possible that the ring was made by hammering rather than casting, and that a line of weakness remains around the centre. The ring looks old, but is not really datable.

The base and the top of the V-shape are missing due to old breaks. One arm of the V has survived for a greater length than the other and at its tip it curves round, however this curve is also missing, so it is difficult to say what it would have been for.
