Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy finger ring, probably post-medieval in date.
The ring has a split bezel. The hoop has a D-shaped section which expands into a flattened, triangular terminal. Only one terminal survives as the other has broken off. The flat end of the surviving terminal indicates that the bezel must have been split, as it does not attach to the other terminal.
The terminal has been decorated with a stamped design, which comprises a raised line down the centre with arches either side with a pellet in each field. The decoration appears to continue around the hoop, but it is very worn. It is possibly floral.
The metal is a mid greyish-brownish colour and it is worn. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
