A sub-circular cast copper alloy ring or loop, with a bi-convex section. The loop has traces of a dark green/brown patina, with large patches of red copper corrosion, and is therefore in poor condition. The width of the frame varies but this is probably due to the casting rather than any wear. It measures 29.33mm diameter externally and 22.5mm internally. The thickness is 2.61mm. It weighs 2.65g. Similar rings are illustrated in Margeson’s, (1993) Norwich Households; Medieval and Post Medieval Finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78. East Anglian Archaeology Report No. 58. …
