Description: | A gilt copper-alloy signet ring of probable 14th to 15th century AD date. The object is heavily damaged and corroded. The hoop is hemispherical in section, narrow, and has become broken and severely bent at the back. The hoop extends smoothly into the bezel, which is set proud and is lozenge-shaped. The central image sits within a single indented border and depicts a swan or duck swimming left. Traces of gilding can be seen on both the inner and outer faces of the object. It measures 37.8mm from the front of the bezel to the back of the damaged hoop. The bezel itself is 16.4mm long by 12.3mm wide and 4.2mm thick. The object weighs 6.3g. | 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: | 1300
