A gold Roman circular mount. In the centre of the mount in a raised Julio-Claudian bust, probably of Augustus. On the reverse is the concave reverse of the bust.

Next around this is a single raised, plain band outside of which is another ring of, this time larger, raised dots. The outer edge of the disc has suffered damage at the 2-5 o'clock and 8-9 o'clock positions.

A complete but misshapen gold finger ring or circular fitting with a plain and simple hoop. There is no decoration either internally nor externally. The inside of the band is rough compared to the outside suggesting this may be a fitting for something like a cane or knife rather than a finger ring. The internal diameter of the ring is 21.8mm (max), width 5.2mm, thickness 0.9mm, weight 3.2 grams. The ring is probably of late medieval to modern date however its undiagnostic nature makes it impossible to securely date it to pre-1709. As such it falls outside the provisions of the Treasur…
