Description: | A fragment of a silver-gilt finger-ring of post-Medieval date, late 16th or early 17th century. Treasure case no. 2010 T53. Distorted, damaged and generally worn, the outer face of the hoop has a border at each side composed of punched annulet motifs, now indistinct. Within the borders engraved serifed capital letters form part of a phrase: I L I K E [ ]. There is a small engraved saltire cross between I and L and after E. The rear face is flat and plain. 30.6 x 7.7 x 0.7mm. Weight: 1.23g. The find contains a minimum of 10% silver and predates 1710. It thus qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of precious metal content and age.
