Description: | Cast copper alloy finger ring depicting two clasped hands on the bezel. Clasped hands are frequently found on the class of Medieval love-ring known as ‘fede’ rings. The shoulders of the ring have four horizontal side projections and one vertical projection suggesting a cuffed forearm. The hand is modelled by a series of grooves defining the fingers and a deeper side groove forming the thumb. Two cross-grooves on one of the shoulders define the underside of the wrist of one arm. The hoop is plain and has a D-shaped cross-section. | Subjects: | Clasped hands | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
