Description: | Silver-gilt finger ring of iconographic type. The surface is worn, and little gilding now survives. The ridged bezel is engraved with a figure on each of the two facets, probably representing the Annunciation: the Angel of the Annunciation (left), and the Virgin (right). The shoulders are engraved with sprigs of foliage, and the back of the hoop is decorated with a row of beading, now worn. The ring probably dates to the 15th century AD. | 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
