Description: | Treasure Report: 2006 T437
Parish/County: Ashwell, Hertfordshire
Late Medieval finger-ring, formed of a thin band, with a shallow oval setting for a stone (now missing). The shoulders are engraved with simple foliate designs. A comparable piece retaining a facetted stone is in the British Museum Collection (Dalton, No 1894).
The finger-ring is silver and dates from the early sixteenth century.
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Barton, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
