Title
WMID-3A7304: Roman: Ear ring
Description
English: An incomplete silver wire, probable ear ring of Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410).

The ear ring consists of a length of silver wire, bent round in an incomplete circular shape. A loop terminal is present, consisting of the wire twisted back on itself to form a circular loop. The hook end is incomplete. The shank of the ear ring consists of a circular sectioned piece of wire that gradually swells in diameter towards the middle / base of the earring and thins towards either terminals.

It measures 14.75 mm in length, 16.74 mm wide and a maximum thickness of 3.15 mm. It weighs 0.7 grams.

The ear ring is a mid grey colour, with an even surface patina.
