A copper alloy possible horse harness ring of Bronze Age to Roman date (c. 1000 BC - AD 410). The ring measures 33.75mm in diameter (internal diameter 16.55mm), is 5.95mm thick and weighs 15.12g. It is circular in shape with a defined circumferential ridge running around the centre. The interior surface also features a defined circumferential ridge, creating a lozenge-shaped cross section. Similar rings have been discovered in a number of Bronze Age hoards and have been suggested as horse harness fittings, as being part of the handles of a sheet-metal cauldron of Class A1 (Type Tu…

Record ID: WILT-5F9DEE
Object type: RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Published
A ring of gold filigree comprising three strands of gold beaded wire, the central strand being thicker than those flanking it, forming a D-shaped section. The ring is squashed together at one end, the rest rather bent. One of the beaded strands is bent outwards and detached at one point. The whole ring is exceptionally worn, so that the central strand of beaded wire in particular appears plain where the definition between individual beads on the strands has been lost.

A copper-alloy probable ring of uncertain, possible Iron Age to medieval date. The ring is oval in plan (83.35mm in lenth, 74.6mm wide) and circular (c. 6.65mm wide) in cross section. Wear is visible internally (minimum 4.2mm wide). The smooth mid grey patina has been removed in places revealing the light green metal underneath. The ring is 53.94 grams. The artefact has been suggested as a section of harness fitting, a ring and a bracelet. The internal wear suggests that it is unlikely that the artefact functioned as a bracelet. No diagnostic features are visible on the ring, conseq…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy ring of probable late Iron Age to Roman date. The ring is semi-circular in cross-section, with a flat internal surface. It is decorated externally with a raised median band. The ring is uneven; it thickens in sections (min 6.5mm, max 7.2mm) and expands in hoop width (min 3.8mm, max 5.7mm). Consequently this gives the impression that the hole is off centre. The apparently deliberate difference between the two sides may suggest this is a harness loop rather than a bead. The variable grey/green patina with slight pitting and the decoration perhaps support a late Iron …
