Description: | Silver Roman finger ring of Henig Type V. The ring has a plain oval hoop with a swollen bezel, set with an intaglio of a red-orange carnelian. The silver surrounding the intaglio is decorated with an oval perimeter of punched dots. Half of the hoop is missing. The intaglio is engraved however it has also suffered some chipping around the edge and through the centre rendering the motif illegible. The motif is an elongated figure or object with what looks like a curved and tapering tail with two transverse lines through the tip. | Subjects: | Henig Type V | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
