Description: | A cast lead alloy finger ring of probable late medieval date. The hoop measures 23.3mm in diameter, 3.5mm in width and 2mm in thickness. The damaged rectangular bezel measures 13mm by 8.6mm and the ring weighs 4.2g. The hoop has a D-shaped cross-section, with an external curve. It widens slightly to meet with the bezel which is flanked by a transverse line on each side and is decorated with an incised saltire cross. A number of finger rings with this general form can be seen in part 1 of the 'Salisbury Museum Catalogue' (Saunders 1991, p. 46, fig. 12, nos. 17, 18 and 19).
