Roman silver finger ring
Finger ring with a solid bezel and a sharp keel or carination to the hoop. Either side of the bezel is a triangular field. Both these have the remains of, what was probably originally, a simple, stylized, leaf design to their outer edges, delineated by longitudinal incised lines near to each edge. The hoop is D-shaped in cross-section. Much of the original surface has been lost; probably removing finer incised decoration.
