Title
Finger ring of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. The hoop is oval shaped in section with terminals that taper to points and would originally have overlapped to form the ring shape. It is currently oval shaped in form due to post-depositional damage that has also resulted in the removal of much of the original surface. The entire object measures 26.60mm in width, 23.25mm in length, 4.77mm in thickness/diameter and 4.47g in weight.

Similar finger rings have been recorded from Suffolk (for example SF-07FB63, SF-450B65 and SF-DE3E03) with a suggested Late Anglo-Saxon date range (c.800-1100 AD), although parallels are also noted in the Roman period in the form of ear rings with overlapping terminals (e.g. LIN-9E3535 (with refs.), ESS-4AB395 or SF9752) and thus a slightly earlier Roman date cannot be ruled out entirely.
