Title
Viking period finger ring (possibly)
Description
English: A gilt copper-alloy finger ring of possible middle to late early medieval (possibly Viking period) date (P.G.Murawski; 2003; pp. 325).

The object has the appearance of twisted wire, but has possibly been cast. It is sub-circular in plan, one side being almost vertical, but with a slight outward bulge. At this point the ring is of sub-oval section and measures just 2.1mm wide, by 1.4mm thick. The width and thickness of the ring increase towards the outer edge, where it reaches a maximum of 7.1mm wide and 7.3mm thick. The ropework hoop retains a significant amount of gilding on both sides.

Overall, the piece measures 29.7mm wide, by 28.6mm deep and weighs 11.28g.
