Description: | Medieval copper alloy finger ring 19mm long and 13mm wide. The ring is in a fair condition with a red/brown patina and weighs 3.99 grams. The object consists of the bezel and shoulders, the rest has snapped off in antiquity. The bezel is oval in form and 2mm thick. It shows a long necked bird, probably a swan, standing facing left with its wings outspread. The engraving is enclosed by an incised border very close to its edge and the shoulders, which are the width of the oval emerge from its lower edge. The shoulders taper sharply in thickness and width to become a quite delicate rounded shaft, 2mm wide, with no obvious signs of 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: | 1100
