Description: | Medieval silver finger-ring of iconographic type, weighing 2.74g. It measures 22.13x14.80mm (internal 19.96x11.89mm) but is rather squashed. The hoop has broken to the reverse (looks relatively recent) but the finger-ring is complete. It is max.1.85mm thick at the bezel. The bezel and shoulders are triangular in section (being flat to the underside) and rather worn. The bezel depicts a crudely incised figure on each resulting facet, both turned inward with hands in front of them, possibly in prayer. One is obviously cloaked. It is likely these are saints but any further detail has been obscured through wear. The shoulders are decorated with a line of punches on each facet. eitehr side of the bezel these punches are oval and below rather more V-shaped. The rest of the hoop in plain and D-shaped in section. 15th century in date.
