English: Ring made from plaited or interwoven silver wire. Each strand of the plait consists of seven parallel strands of silver wire, woven under and over each other to form a diagonal pattern. At the top and bottom these are then curved round and woven back up and down, so that the plait is made up of a single length of multi-strand wire. The ring is not perfectly cylindrical. It appears to be slightly squared, with a cross-section of around 15 mm square. Each end is slightly curved inwards and the total length is around 20 mm. Precise dimensions are not possible to take, as the strands have eased apart slightly and the object is now a little distorted. The wire, when looked at under a microscope, can be seen to be distinctly square in section in places, and where best preserved it seems that the square faces are parallel so as to produce a flat surface to the strands. There is quite a lot of pitting on the surface of the wire, which gives the impression that the wire has been made by hammering. In many cases the pits form a pattern of oblique broad grooves and in these areas it appears that the wire has been twisted and hammered.
