Description: | Treasure Case : 2007 T390
A Medieval finger??ring, distorted and broken to one side of the bezel. The metal is thin. The hoop is decorated with two square panels and two rectangular, connected by a series of grooves. The square bezel is engraved with a star and dots within a linear border, punctuated intermittently by six grooves. The bottom line of the border has been lost due to abrasion. The star appears to retain a small amount of niello.
The ring is silver, and dates from the twelfth 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.
