Description: | An incomplete silver-gilt signet ring
Date: Probably first half 16th century
Description: Silver-gilt signet ring with lozenge-shaped bezel and faceted shoulders. The bezel has a beaded border and is engraved with the initials TS.
Discussion: The decoration on the shoulders and the lozenge bezel are a late medieval type, but the lettering is more 16th-century in style, hence the later dating.
Metal content: The precious metal content of the ring fulfils the requirements of the Treasure Act in that it is greater than 10%.
