Description: | A copper alloy wire finger ring of probable post medieval date. The hoop, which measures 28mm in diameter, is made from four strands of wire which are woven together. A rectangular 'bezel', 19.7mm by 8.4mm, has been formed from two strands of wire twisted together and in the centre of this there is a separately cast setting for a stone or glass. This is square with eight petals surrounding it, two on each side. Geoff Egan has suggested an 18th century date. Simple wire accessories of this type are difficult to date accurately without a context. | 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: | 1700
