Case bronze ring of circular cross-section. At one point there is a slight casting imperfection, visible as a slight pitted thinning with a slighlt bulbous or raised margin. Slight thinning and smoothing of the internal surface on one side may represent a slight wear facet. Cast bronze rings have been foudn with a number of hoards and deposits strongly associated with horse pieces such as terrets, strap unions and bridle bits. Their function may be considered to be either a component of horse harness or elements of bridle bits.
