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.

Description: Penannular circular ring of late Bronze Age date, apparently made of gold throughout. The ring is almost circular in cross-section, with a flat facet around the interior. The ends are cleanly made across the thickness, forming a straight narrow gap 1.8mm wide at most. The ends are neat and flat, but cracked slightly implying that the gold may be a thick plating over a core of different material. The ring flares slightly in thickness, from 4.2mm wide and 4.8mm thick at the ends to 4.6mm wide and 5.1mm thick in the centre. The gold is an even co…
