Description: | Cast copper alloy ring with a 'stirrup-shaped' hoop and a claw setting for its missing cabochon of glass or lapis lazuli. Each lozenge-shaped shoulder is decorated with two transverse lines and three lines radiating outwards from the setting. The setting is 7.4 mm long, 5 mm wide and 3 mm thick. The hoop is semi-circular in section and is 1.6 mm thick to 2.6 mm thick at the shoulder, and 22 mm in diameter. Murdoch (1991) illustrates a similar example on page 131, No.308, which she dates to the 13th century. Egan (1991) illustrates an example with a claw setting on page 328, Fig.216, No.1619, which he dates to the 13th century. Cherry in Saunders (1991) illustrates a similar ring with four claws and incised Vs on the shoulders on page 44, Fig.10, No.6, which he dates to the 13th century.
