Title |
Penannular ring |
||
Description |
English: A crude copper-alloy sub-circular ring. The ring is penannular with one slightly pointed end. It was possibly used as an ear ring, although there are a number of other uses for such artefact types. One such use might be a link in a chain. A similar artefact is illustrated in Crummy (1983, 50; 1796) which is cited as being a possible Roman ear ring. However other penannular rings of a not dissimilar nature make up links from a possible chain mesh purse (Crummy 1983, 50; 1850). A definite function for such items is thus difficult to ascertain, and when discovered outside a stratified context determining a date is likewise problematic. They may date from as early as the Bronze Age, whilst they may be as late as post-medieval. |
