Description: | Copper-alloy finger-ring. The basic shape is of the type known as 'stirrup-shaped', i.e. with the bezel extended into a point into which the oval setting is recessed. This example has a fairly low bezel and the stone or glass setting is now missing, leaving the white adhesive visible beneath. The bezel is 4 mm wide and tapers both in width and thickness into the hoop, which is 3.5 mm wide and 1 mm thick. In cross-section the hoop is biconvex. The ring measures 21 mm in external width and 25 mm from the top of the bezel to the bottom of the hoop. 'Stirrup-shaped' rings date from the end of the 12th century onwards. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1180
