Description: | Cast copper alloy finger ring dating to the Medieval period. The object has a larger circular bezel which is flat. The incomplete hoop is narrow and rectangular in cross-section. The hoop measures 3.81mm in width and is 2.02mm thick. The bezel is 17.74mm in diameter. The side edge of the bezel is decorated with a wide groove while another groove decorates the upper edge. The centre of the bezel is decorated with a cross which is infilled with light green and yellow enamel. One arm of the cross is infilled with cream coloured enamel. This indicates that the other arms would have been cream also but that the copper has leached into the enamel resulting in the light green colour. The centre of the cross has a circular cell infilled with bright yellow enamel. The hoop is plain and incomplete. The object has a mid green patina and is in fair condition.
