Object type: RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy ring probably dating to the medieval period. The object is circular in plan and hexagonal in cross-section. The ring varies in thickness where the object has worn probably due to wearing against another connection. It has a rough mid-brown patina.
