A large copper alloy finger ring formed from a coiled rod. The rod is sub-circular in section with sharply cut ends. The ring has a diameter of 33.9mm, is 13.2mm tall over three coils of the rod, and the rod is 4.9mm thick. There is an even light green and brown patina on all surfaces. This large ring could have been used as currency and probably dates from the Bronze Age or Iron Age. There is a very close parallel in the Yorkshire Museum Boynton Collection (YORYM 2006.1110) which is from Cyprus. There are also similar examples, but larger and described as bracelets, on page 121 of Nic…

Copper alloy finger ring. The hoop has a slightly pointed oval section and is sub-circular in shape. The hoop does not form a single complete circle, but the ends overlap one another and may be broken off so that it is possible that the ring was originally spiral in shape. On both surfaces there is a slightly raised ridge around the hoop. Brown patina.

A copper-alloy finger ring of Bronze Age date, 1500-1150 BC. The finger ring is made from a coiled rod of sub-square section, with approximately two coils remaining. One end is 'finished', but the other had a sharp break, indicating that at least one coil is lost. See also SUSS-C5D042; LANCUM-A4E905; NMS-300286; and SWYOR-3FF370.

An incomplete copper-alloy spiral finger ring of probable later Prehistoric date, perhaps Middle Bronze Age (c. 1500-1150 BC) and possibly of the 'ornament horizon'. The finger ring is formed from an oval rod which has two turns and an old break. It is difficult to tell Bronze Age from Iron Age from Roman spiral finger-rings but earlier examples may have more turns around the finger and be thicker than later examples. A similar object has been recorded on the PAS database as HAMP-7556B3 and SF-761FF6 , see also examples of spiraloid rings in the Near Lewes hoard (SUSS-C5D042) and the …

A possible bronze age coiled/spiral finger ring. Similar object have been found and dated to the Bronze Age and Iron Age through to the Roman period. The object had a shiny dark green patina and it was clear to see the terminal ends had some etch decoration. It is circular and comprised of a single wire shaped into three coils. Unfortunately, over time out of the ground the patina has started to flake off very easily leaving what appears to be a tarnished and pitted finish in a lighter grey colour.

A copper-alloy spiral finger-ring. It is circular and formed by three coils of an oval cross-sectioned metal wire; both ends are broken and worn. The patina is corroded in patches of dark and pale green. The outside surface is very abraded and heavily pitted, while the inside of the ring is smoother. It is difficult or impossible to tell Bronze Age from Iron Age from Roman spiral finger-rings. It is possible that earlier examples of prehistoric finger-rings may have more turns around the finger and be thicker than later examples. It is therefore a possibility that this finger-ring …

Cast copper coiled finger ring probably dating from the Middle Bronze Age, that is c. 1500 -1150BC. The finger ring is very similar to a number of coiled rings found in a Middle Bronze Age hoard found in Sussex, recorded under SUSS-C5D042. It is similar to Middle to Late Bronze Age coiled bronze finger ring dating to 1500BC, which is part of a Bronze Age hoard discovered a short distance inland from Black Rock, in East Brighton. It has been coiled in three complete turns and decorated on the outer edge. Similar rings have been found in the Mecklenburg area of North Germany suggesting …

A complete copper-alloy spiral ring of probable Bronze Age to Roman date, c.1500 BC – AD 300. The object is formed of a circular sectioned rod of metal with cut ends. The ring has one coil and is undecorated. The metal has a mid-green patina and is in fair condition. The ring is 25.4mm long, 24.4mm wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 4.8g. Some rings of this type appear to be made from reused fragments of metal and a few are far too big to have been worn on the finger. It has therefore been suggested that they could have been used as hair ornaments or as…

A ring of uncertain but possible Bronze Age date, consisting of a single strand of gold wire coiled three and-a-half turns (to give three strands to one half of the ring and four to the other). To the outside, the coils have been flattened slightly to give the impression of a flat surface decorated with grooves. To the inside surface, the individual coils are still apparent. The ring is now rather squashed. Dimensions and metal content: The ring measures 22.1mm in max. diameter (internal 18.8mm), 22.1mm in max.length and 20.8mm in max.width and weighs 5.13g.
