Description: | A medieval silver-gilt finger ring, the bezel formed of two joined hands and the hoop undulating to simulate sleeves decorated with sprigs of foliage. Incisions on the wrists may indicate that the hands are gloved. At the back of the ring is the popular motif of a heart sprouting flowers. There is a hair-line crack across the width of the left wrist. The gilding is partially preserved, particularly in the recesses of the engraved decoration. | 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: | 1400
