Description: | Fourteenth-century copper-alloy finger-ring with robust hoop, bezel and shoulder. The bezel of the ring has three settings, each with its own square base. These bases are geometrically aligned and stepped, with the central base being a fraction larger and higher than the two on each side. The gems in each setting (now lost) would have been sub-circular, and evidence of green adhesive is evident. The central base has a knop in each corner. Viewed showing the full loop of the ring there is evidence of horizontal incised lines on the shoulders of the ring, and vertical incised lines on the central part of the bezel (the side of the middle base). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Lewis, Michael - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
