Flat bronze ring: it was collected from the pubic area of the deceased, near the bronze and lignite bracelets and a fragment of the pin. Circular in shape, it measures 330 to 335 mm in external diameter, 230 to 232 mm in internal diameter, with a maximum thickness of 1 mm. It is not decorated. There is a slight deformation of the internal perimeter and a rectilinear segment, 13 mm wide. In the hypothesis of a belt ring, it could be the place provided to fix the end of a leather or fabric belt.
