Object type: RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
The ring is thicker on one side than the other and has a rounded, faceted section; diameter (external), 17.5 - 18.5 mm; diameter (internal), 9 - 10 mm. It is decorated round the girth with a row of punched dots, except on the thinner side where they are missing for about a quarter of the circumference, apparently because of heavy wear at this point. The upper and lower faces of the ring have been repeatedly nicked with the point of a knife in antiquity to test the metal, which has roughened the surface.
Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate si…
