Roman gold finger ring
Finger ring with bezel, setting missing. The hoop is made of two strands of gold wire, circular in section, which have been expanded, one to either side, around the roughly circular bezel. To either side of the bezel, a separate piece of wire is looped around the front and sides of the hoop and secured with solder. The wall of the bezel is formed from a shallow piece of gold sheet soldered to the gold strands of the hoop and the base is separate piece of circular sheet. Now distorted, probably as a result of ploughing.
