Description: | Description: A medieval silver-gilt finger-ring. The bezel is formed of a quatrilobe engraved with a cross against a hatched ground; the centre of the cross may bear an inscribed letter, but this is unclear. The hoop of the ring is engraved with a series of vertical lines separated by areas of cross-hatching; the back of the hoop bears a crude representation of clasped hands.Dimensions: Maximum diameter: 25mm. Height of bezel: 11mm.Discussion: Similar rings include 2003T200 which is dated to the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries, and DENO-A2D213 (2009 T540), which is similar but is inscribed and which is dated to the fourteenth century. Also see LEIC-C4F333 (2011T314), GLO-69827D (2014T478) and KENT-299A33 (2007T493), all of which are medieval silver finger-rings with similar decoration.
