A complete cast copper alloy miniature Romano-British terret ring. The object is oval in plan and cross-section. The hoop tapers towards the base where it is decorated with two small collars. It measures 7.20mm at its widest point and 4.16mm in width between the collars. The bar between each collar is slightly curved. The object has a glossy dark green patina and is in good condition. The object has small pits of recent damage slightly above the bar probably due to plough or recovery damage.A similar example can be found in Mac Gregor, (1976), no.52.
