Description: | A fragment from a medieval silver-gilt finger ring, dating to the 14th - 16th century. The fragment is badly damaged and worn.The bezel represents two clasped hands. Either side of the hands there are two raised collars, representing cuffs. On one side of the hoop, beyond the cuffs the hoop is broken and the break is very irregular and worn. The other side of the hoop survives at a longer length. There is a flower next to the two raised collars on the cuff. The break in the hoop at this point is also irregular and worn.The ring was originally gilt, but the gilding has largely worn away.Similar finger rings can be seen in Treasure Annual Report 2004: 2004 T391 (Dundridge, Hampshire), 2004 T87 (King's Somborne, Hampshire) and 2004 T96 (Sapcote, Leicestershire).
