| Title |
Copper Alloy Finger Ring |
||
| Description |
English: A copper alloy finger-ring, possibly Roman. The ring is not a continuous band of copper but a length of copper that has been bent round, the ends over-lapping to either side by 7.21mm. The strip of Copper has an oval cross-section.
There is 5.53mm of decoration at one terminal, which might be a stylised animal head (possibly a snake). The decoration consists of three grooves, no more than 0.67mm in depth, around the cross-section. These grooves occur 1.79mm, 2.54mm and 5.00mm from the end. If there is any further detail to the decoration this has been lost from the surface or is hidden below a small patch of light green patina, which is present on the upper surface of the terminal. The other terminal does not have identical decoration and may have been cut shorter at some point. Alternatively this might be a crudely stylised tail. The second terminal appears to have been cut or chopped in a diagonally (away from the terminal) downward direction. Rather than achieving a clean cut a small spur remains at the lower end that is approximately half of the width and thickness of the rest of the terminal. This might be a shorter version of the example shown in Mills, N. 2000 (p.101, item RC309). If one of the terminals has been cut, the ring might be re-use of another artefact, possibly an artefact previously used as a bracelet. Dimensions: outer diameter 23.03mm, inner diameter 17.20mm, width 3.40mm, thickness 2.45mm, weight 3.24g. |
