The ring was found at Poultry and was acquired by the London Museum in 1925 (Museum of London accession number: A27897). Recently, X-ray fluorescence analysis has shown that it has a very high lead content and may thus be classified with a series of such rings found on a number of 10th-century urban sites in England. On many of these sites evidence for the working of the glass was also found.
