Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Roman gold finger-ring, crushed and severely distorted. Its tripartite construction comprises a symmetrical pair of slender bands flanking, and fused to, a central beaded wire. At the bezel the outer edge of both bands expands to form a sub-triangular field. This is occupied by a lozenge-shaped cell formed from beaded wire with a single pellet at each end of the long axis. A further two pairs of pellets flank the beaded wire either side of the lozenges. The lozenge motif is reminiscent of the cells on Roman 'Hercules club' type ear-rings and pendants, some of which are filled with e…
