Description: | 2004 T386 Treasure case number. A medieval silver-gilt finger-ring, with ridged bezel and shoulders, engraved with incised lines and sprigs. The hoop is of triangular section. The gilding is worn. The ring probably dates to the 15th or early 16th century. This type of ring is usually known as iconographic, and commonly features religious imagery, but is also found, as in this case, with simple geometric or floral decoration (eg. Treasure Annual Report 2000, nos 111-112). Maximum internal diameter: 20mm.
