Description: | Gold finger-ring of 'stirrup-shaped' type, now in two pieces and with an empty setting. The hoop is a little uneven but in most places 2.5 mm wide and a very thin D-shape in cross-section. The hoop is now crushed out of shape and a small piece, opposite the bezel, has become detached. The bezel is tall and triangular in the classic 'stirrup' shape, and has a very tiny circular setting for a gem a little less than 2 mm in diameter. The base of the setting is keyed for adhesive, of which no traces survive. Medieval, probably 13th century.
