Description: | Large cast cu-alloy finger ring, probably dating from the late medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. c. AD1500-1700. The ring is extremely worn and nothing remains of the original surface/patina. The ring suffers from bronze disease which has already destroyed most of the surface as well as the inscription/image on the bezel. The bezel was of oval or roughly octagonal shape and the hoop fairly wide. It is likely that the ring belonged to a man (it has a large diameter) and/or it was or could be worn over a leather glove.
