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. In those cases because the finger ring has no features that would enable a secure date, there is not enough evidence to date this ring to pre-1722.

Description: A complete biconical gold bead. The object has a central aperture running along the longest axis.
