Title
Medieval: Ring
Description
English: Cast copper alloy ring of probable Roman - Modern date (50 - 1800). The ring is broadly circular in plan (with faceted edges) and is rectangular in cross section. There is no obvious cast or incised decoration present. The external surface is black / dark green in places and this may suggest that it has been treated with linseed oil. The ring is an abraded dusty grey-green colour with a relatively poorly preserved patchy dark green patina. The patination of the metal would suggest a medievaldate. The function of the ring is varied; it is worn, a direct use cannot be attributed.

The ring measures 26.7mm in diameter, the frame is 4.9mm wide, and is 3.3mm thick. The internal diameter is 17.9mm. The ring weighs 7.93 grams.
Date between 50 and 1800
