Description: | A copper-alloy finger ring most likely to be late medieval or early post medieval in date. The hoop is now distorted and measures 18.1mm by 16.5mm externally and 15.6mm by 12.8mm internally. The hoop flares into the shoulders and then a tall triangular bezel, which has a six petalled flower in its centre with each inner point of each petal holding the gem in place. The gem is a light purple in colour and is glass, it has been cut. It may have been created to imitate amethyst. There are also traces of gilding around the bezel area of the ring.
