A short section of a Roman copper alloy bracelet that has been cut and bent into a finger ring dating to c. AD 250-450. The object is formed of a strip of copper alloy.

A complete mishapen thin gold finger ring, no hall marks or other decoration. Dimensions: Hoop width: 1.3 mm Hoop thickness: 0.7 mm Length: 21.0 mm Width: 16.1 mm Weight: 0.5 g. Discussion: The object is similar in style to LVPL-F848BA, WMID-E6F361, WMID-E6E061 and ESS-F1E6C3.
