Title
FINGER RING
Description
English:

A possible bronze age coiled/spiral finger ring. Similar object have been found and dated to the Bronze Age and Iron Age through to the Roman period. 


The object had a shiny dark green patina and it was clear to see the terminal ends had some etch decoration. It is circular and comprised of a single wire shaped into three coils. Unfortunately, over time out of the ground the patina has started to flake off very easily leaving what appears to be a tarnished and pitted finish in a lighter grey colour.
