Description: | A medieval damaged gold finger ring of 13th century date. The ring, weighing 3.44g with an internal diameter of approximately 20mm, is of ?stirrup-shaped? design, with a flattened strip-like hoop and a simple bezel originally set with a stone that is now missing. The hoop is broken and the ring is generally plain and in rather poor condition. This is an example of a ring type fashionable from the mid-12th century for about three hundred years. Such rings are known in pewter and copper alloy as well as gold. The Bradwell ring was declared to the coroner under the Treasure process, but was disclaimed and subsequently returned to the finder. | 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
