Description: | Fragment of a silver 'snake-finger ring' of Johns Type Biv (Johns, 1997, p36). The bezel is nearly complete, though now in two pieces. The hoop is missing. The bezel is in the form of two snake heads curving out from the multiple curved body, which is represented on teh underside by two strands of silver. There are three bosses of metal decorating the central area of the ring, each within a perimeter of beaded wire. The snake heads are D-shaped in cross-section and are very worn. The forehead appears to be undecorated whereas the perimeter is beaded.
