Description: | A medieval silver-gilt finger ring of a type commonly known as a stirrup ring. The hoop of the ring, which is now slightly distorted, is decorated with engraved lozenges and part-lozenges, each infilled with annular punches. The grooves between the lozenges are filled with an inlay of niello (silver sulphide), some of which is now missing, which would have appeared as a darker grey band. The inner surface is plain. The ring has a prominent rounded setting of either garnet or amethyst.
