Description: | A wide cast copper alloy finger ring, with a thin section and traces of gilding surviving on the surface.
The hoop has been shaped with a wide collar in the centre, flanked on either side by a narrower band, which has been decorated with parallel and diagonal markings; lots of gilded remains in the groves.
Projecting up from the hoop is an indistinct knot, also gilded.
The copper alloy is a dark reddish-brown colour. This ring probably dates to the medieval to post-medieval period. An exact parallel could not be found in the standard literature. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
