Record ID: DUR-FA9055
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: County Durham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Gold finger ring, probably of Roman date. The hoop consists of a narrow band, slightly elliptical in section. The ovoid bezel, which has been soldered onto the hoop, consists of an outer decorative band of beaded wire which surrounds a box setting for stone, now missing. The setting is crushed and damaged and the hoop bent and distorted.
Discussion: the ring is probably of Roman date, although this is not certain. A parallel for the style of the ring was found at Leeuwarden and published by Henkel (1913, no. 135).
Date: 3rd to 4th centuries AD?
Wt.: 2.41g D. of bezel: 9.5mm
