Description: | A complete cast copper alloy seal finger ring, probably dating to the Medieval period, between AD 1300-1500 (outer diameter of hoop: 27mm; width of hoop: 4mm; thickness of hoop: 2mm; diameter of bezel: 4.5mm; thickness of bezel: 1mm; weight: 6.82g).The ring has an undecorated and large (possibly belonging to a man) circular D-sectioned hoop with a standard thickness all the way round. At the top of outside edge of the hoop, a sub-circular and flat-sectioned bezel has been separately attached with a curved and 'black lettering' style 'M' recessed on the front/ upper side, with a recessed crown immediately above the letter. There are also numerous scratch marks on the front of the bezel, particularly around the outside edge. There is no decoration on the underside of the bezel. Overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn but fair condition with a dark brown patina.
