Cast copper alloy finger ring with a circular hoop and a sub-rectangular bezel with a recessed setting but missing the stone that would have been held in it. The profile of the ring is like a stirrup-shaped type. Typical stirrup-shaped finger rings, that are earlier in date, have a bezel with raised sides to produce a setting to hold a stone. This bezel would have been incised to order, as these rings were mass-produced in the 19th century. The surface of the ring is corroded and pitted and appears to be undecorated, and the edge of the setting has worn away. There appears to be a bla…
