Description: | Complete silver finger-ring with a large circular hoop. The somewhat wider bezel is divided into three unevenly shaped fields, each decorated with a silver Maltese cross. The areas surrounding the Maltese crosses are filled with black/dark grey niello of which only a small amount is missing. The three main fields are separated by four smaller, rectangular-shaped fields which were engraved with crude horizontal lines. The finger-ring dates to the 12th century.A very similar but less crude example was found near Tysoe, Warwickshire (2004 T 494). It was subsequently discussed and published by B Nenk in the Treasure Annual Report 2004 (TAR 2004, 101, Fig. 170).Dimensions: Height (bezel): 6.5mm, Width (Diameter) 20.1mm, and Weight 4.15g.
