Description: | A late medieval silver-gilt ring, probably an annular brooch or buckle frame. The frame has a flattened, hexagonal-oval cross section with chamfered interior and exterior surfaces. The width of the section is slightly diminished in two opposing areas, suggesting wear from a pin, which is now missing; there is no constriction for the pin. The object has a dark grey patina with visible traces of gilding. Measurements: Internal diameter 18.56mm; external diameter 23.55mm. Similar copper alloy rings of 14-15th century date can be seen in Egan and Pritchard 2002.
