Description: | A copper alloy signet finger ring dating from the late Medieval or early post medieval period. The ring is circular and has a diameter of 27.7mm. It has a flat hexagonal bezel which is 11.8mm long. There is a triangular panel on each side of the bezel. The bezel is incised with either an "M" or ligated "A" and "N". The hoop is incised with spiral lines to me it look as if the hoop is twisted. This style of signet ring usually dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century (Geake, 2001). The metal of this ring is solid but it has a very dark green patina with a rough texture.
