Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy enamelled finger ring (probably 16th ?? 17th century). The finger ring has been cast in a strip with moulded copper alloy cells to accommodate inlaid enamel; there is a seam where the ends of the strip have been soldered together to form the ring. The pattern comprises two pointed ovals arranged point to point with a circle in between, forming a propeller shape. In between each of these propeller motifs there is circular cell. The enamel is red, white and blue and large areas are missing. The propeller pattern alternate between a pair of white oval propellors and then a pair of red. The central circular cell has a contrasting colour enamel inlay to the oval propellors. The background to the pattern has been inlaid with blue enamel.
