Description: | Copper-alloy medieval finger-ring, such rings date from the end of the 12th century onwards. 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.
The finger ring measures c22mm externally and c19mm internally. The hoop is flat and its outer face decorated with two crossing longitudinal grooves, forming oval shapes, which appear to be filled with niello, traces of a white metal coating can also be seen on the hoop. The shoulders a narrower than the hoop and have transverse mouldings across them where they join the hoop. The bezel is triangular in shape and the stone or glass oval setting is now missing, leaving the white cement visible beneath. | 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
