Object type: BEAD
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper-alloy ring of uncertain date and identity, possibly a bead. The ring is of uneven thickness and is D-shaped in section. The hole in the centre is almost perfectly round, but it is distinctly wider on one side than the other; it is possible that this is the result of wear from being hung. The hole is 6.84mm at maximum diameter. Copper-alloy beads are known from Iron Age to post-medieval contexts and it is therefore possible that this is a bead, however cast beads are usually much more regular in form and therefore identification must remain uncertain. The object has a matt brown…
