Full Description
{1} A fragment of Roman iron ring was found during building work at a property off Gainsborough Road and was handed in to Kettering Museum in 1973. The ring is set with a cracked orange translucent glass intaglio (9mm in diameter) in imitation of a gemstone, and which has been mounted so as to project slightly from the bezel. The intaglio carries the mould-made image of the winged horse Pegasus, which walks, rather than flies, towards the right (impression described) with wings swept backwards.
