Description: | A cast copper alloy finger ring of medieval date. The hoop has a diameter of 20.9mm, a width of around 1.8mm and a thickness of around 1.4mm. The ring weighs 2.4g. The bezel is in the form of a quatrefoil with an additional central raised lobe and measures 9.8mm by 9.8mm by 6.6mm high. In each of the five lobes there is a round setting containing the off-white remains of the adhesive used to secure glass or gems. One either side of the bezel is a shoulder defined by a plain transverse ridge. Geoff Egan suggests a later 13th to 15th century date.
