Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring, with a thin D-shaped section of varying height and thickness. The ring has an integral bezel; which would once have been set with an intaglio. The intaglio would have been an elaborate shield shape. There does not appear to be any trace of the intaglio left in the setting but there is evidence of some sort of staining within the setting. The hoop is complete but it has been bent out of shape. The metal has gone a dark reddish-brown colour and is heavily pitted. A similar ring can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p328. This ring is therefore medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
