Description: | A medieval silver finger-ring, the hoop engraved with a black-letter inscription, the meaning of which is unclear. The inscription begins with a cross, and is divided by two flowers and two five-pointed stars, evenly-spaced and alternating. Some of the letters terminate in foliate sprigs. The ring probably dates to the late 14th or 15th century. Maximum diameter: 22mm Width: 5mm The find therefore qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content (Beverley Nenk, Prehistory & Europe, British Museum, 7 July 2005).
