Description: | Copper-alloy medieval 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 4.4 mm wide and tapers both in width and thickness into the hoop, which is 2.3 mm wide and 1.6 mm thick. In cross-section the hoop is biconvex. The ring measures 21.4 mm in external width and 26.5 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: | 1200
