Any Ideas? Large Ring

[mbcuce]

Anyone seen anything like this? Its solid, very heavy, a couple of inches in diameter and was found at a site with late 1700 to early 1800 artifacts.

Looks like cast iron. I'd say decorative piece, stove fireplace related?

What does the back look like, and what metal is it? Also, what is its actual diameter? Thanks

Victorian era "French style" curtain ring. Note that yours is slightly worn at the 7 o'clock area. That's where the attachment clip was...

Possible... IF it has design on BOTH sides I would agree.

It is 1.5" inside diameter. There is a groove or "rabbit" indention on the other side. Should have posted this pic before.

Not a curtain ring...

Maybe a decorative ring from an oil lamp...?
