Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire

A white metal finger ring. The shape of the finger-ring is distorted, presumably as the result of agricultural activity while it was in the ground. The band of this finger ring has a rectangular cross-section. It is constructed from one length of silver wire which is bent round to form the band and then the ends overlap and curl around the band forming two slip knots. Dimensions: length: 23.21mm; width: 21.21mm; thickness of band: 1.76mm; weight: 2.70g.
