Roman copper alloy finger ring
Incomplete ring with a shallow D-sectioned shank expanding sharply to wide oval shoulders. The large circular bezel is filled with a copper alloy strip wound tightly around a central dimpled cup which may have held enamel. The edge of the bezel is decorated with wide vertical grooves. A ring from the Franks Bequest has a blue glass centre surroundedby concentric rings but differs in the shape of the shoulders (Marshall 1969 no 1451). Condition: in two pieces, part of the shank is missing.
