Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy medieval to post-medieval finger ring. Only part of the hoop and the bezel survives. The bezel measures 10.5mm x 11.6mm. The bezel features a raised design, which has been cut into the copper alloy. It resembles a capital letter T, similar to the crowned 'T's that are sometimes seen on finger rings and seal matrices. The cutting is crude, so this is possibly a crude copy. The bezel is circular and is set proud of the hoop. Either side of the bezel there are two raised collars, now heavily pitted. The hoop is basic and has a rectangular section, which has been filed. The breaks are both worn and corroded. The metal is mid greyish-green in colour and slightly worn. The ring probably dates to the 14th - 16th century.
