Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) to Medieval Finger-ring |
||
| Description |
English: A complete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) to Medieval copper-alloy finger-ring (800- 1100). The object appears to have been made with two strands of copper-alloy wire twisted together to form a ropework hoop. However, it is possible that it has been cast in one piece. The base of the hoop, where the two strands are possibly joined together, is flat and narrow. The section of the ring expands from the thin base with the thickest portion being at the bezel, increasing from a diameter of c. 2.0mm to c. 4.8mm.
This finger-ring is brown with green corrosion products and there is no indication of any surface treatment. Height: 23.6mm; width: 25.6mm; internal height: 20.0mm; internal width: 18.9mm. Weight: 2.62g. Found within the inter-tidal zone. Similar finger-rings have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. For example, see finds: BERK-746742; BH-F06BC6; HAMP-168401; HAMP-B7CF73; HAMP-999A9D; ESS-5CF6B5; LVPL-CB0EBF; LVPL-B07C55; SF-16B905; SF3470; SUR-E59F8B and SWYOR-AA27B1. Kevin Leahy has commented (about LVPL-B07C55) that although similar designs are known from the Viking period, they were also in use in other periods and the ring should not be considered to be exclusively Viking. A 9th to 11th Century date and Anglo-Scandinavian origins are thus tentatively suggested. This Isle of Wight finger-ring is also similar to a gold finger ring published in Read (1995) pp.48-9, no.176, which has been dated to the 10th-11th century AD. Read, B. 1995.
