Description: | A medieval finger-ring, much distorted and missing the stone from its bezel, which would have been held in place by a claw-setting and was roughly rectangular in shape. The hoop of the ring is thin and flat, the front part divided by a central ridge into two registers which are decorated with a band of beading. The back is plain.The finger-ring is gold and dates from the fourteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.J P Robinson Curator of Medieval Collections 26th July 2010
