Description: | A copper alloy finger ring from the post medieval period. The hoop of the ring is broken, but none seems to be missing. The hoop is narrow at the back (2.1mm wide) but quickly widens to form a bezel which is shield shaped, with three lobes at the top and bottom of the shield, and concave sides. On either side of the shield is a single flower, perhaps a rose. The ring is corroded and worn. If there was any decoration on the shield, it is no longer visible. The ring is 23mm long, 15.3mm wide at the bezel, and 10.5mm thick from front to back, the hoop being squashed. It has a dark brown patina which is glossy, suggesting that it may have been tinned or silvered originally. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
