RING 178679

Description: A cast copper-alloy ring with a diameter of approximately one inch (c. 1.18 inches). Plain rings of such proportions have often been suggested to be medieval or post-medieval harness rings (Geake 2001, 74), though they are typically undiagnostic. Further, Geake (ibid., 74) suggests that the file marks and hexagonal section which this ring possesses probably indicate a medieval date. This ring has a maximum internal diameter of c. 24.2mm. It has a dark patina with some slight areas of corrosion.
