Description: | Copper alloy ring fragment with an oval bezel. The upper surface of the ring is convex, and the reverse is very slightly convex, giving the hoop a broadly D-shaped section. The hoop then expands and thickens at the shoulders to form the bezel, the upper surface of which is flat (W. 3.9-8.7mm. Th. 2.5-3.5mm). The central motif of the bezel is a letter I with a crown above and palms on either side. Dull, dark patina. Very similar to an example in Saunders, P & E. 1991. Salisbury Museum Medieval Catalogue. Part 1. Salisbury: Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, 42 & 46, no. 18, from Old Sarum. | Subjects: | Signet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
