Description: | A copper alloy finger ring which is probably post medieval. The ring is a wide, simple hoop which is rectangular in section and which is decorated with six incised asterisks or possible eight-petalled flowers linked by lines round the middle of the hoop. Gilt survives in the asterisks and inside the hoop. The ring has an external diameter of 20.1mm, an internal diameter of 17.3mm and the hoop is 7.1mm wide. The metal is in good condition and has a thin brown patina. Rings with similar designs can be seen in Bailey (2001). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
