Description: | Cast copper alloy finger ring. 18th century in date. Voided decoration consists of crosses divided by two double lines, and a line design within a box (possibly flowered pattern). There is a damaged bezel which remains as a knop with a trace of gold gilt around it. This gilt can also be seen at various points around the hoop. There is no inscription.
Rings from this period are generally referred to as 'fairground rings' and may have been bought from small traders at fairs or markets (Bailey 1997 page 30). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Keys, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
