Description: | Twelfth-century Medieval copper alloy finger ring, gilded and has enamelled decoration on the bezel and shoulders, and moulded decoration on the shoulders. The enamelled bezel is divided into eight segments (of which one is missing), together with a central roundel (also missing). The colour of the segments alternate between green and dark blue, giving the impression of a blue cross pattee on a green background. The triangular enamelling on the shoulders appears to be black, but a broken area reveals it to be turquoise. A small irregular triangle of cloudy white material is set into each of the pieces of the turquoise triangular enamelling. The ring is a complete circle, having a small gap at the thinnest point of the band. | 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: | 1100
