Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Published
Possible finger ring or even a mount. It is ovoid in shape with a sub-circular central face, from which further material extends out to form the overall. These extensions both have a hole drilled in them, and are angled downwards below the plane of the central face, forming a semicircular section. It is symmetrical in both axes. The semicircular shape fits the finger (a modern male finger) but the two holes either side suggest that this was mounted to something else with a circular shape. The circular central face is divided into five fields - a central sub-square/…

A copper alloy post medieval to modern clog clasp inscribed with the motto: GOD SAVE THE KING. It dates from the 18th century and probably refers to George III. The clasp has a broadly rectangular die-stamped plate with three sub-rectangular perforations (possibly for attachment).

The lower edge  has a narrowed projection that then widens to form a semi-circular shaped lug that ha…
