Description: | Late medieval silver finger-ring with clasped hands at the bezel. It is c.22mm in diameter (internal c.19.5mm) and weighs 2.65g.
The hoop is plain but widens from 3mm at the central point to 4mm just below the shoulders. The shoulders are decorated with six grooves and widen to 4.5mm wide just before the 'bezel' area which consists of two hands clasped, one over the other with four long fingers visible, the thumb of the other over this hand and four fingers visible just below (and behind). The grooves on the shoulder possibly represent a sleeve cuff. The finger-ring dates from the early sixteenth century. | 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: | 1500
