Description: | A medieval finger- ring with a simple wire hoop, expanding at the shoulders to form a conical bezel with a narrow collar. At the base of the bezel is an aperture, probably designed to provoke contact between the stone and the wearer. The stone, however, is now missing, but may be assumed to have had amuletic properties.The finger- ring is gold and dates from the late twelfth or the thirteenth centuries.Dimensions: diameter 19 mm, length to bezel 22 mm.
