Description: | A gold finger ring of the type known as puzzle rings. Three inter-linking gold hoops square in section and 1.5mm wide. The hoops are mis-shapen and twisted, but were approximately 20mm in diameter when in its original shape.Similar has been recorded in the Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, (2005 T518), figure 880, page 171, and reported on by Judy Rudoe. In this report, Rudoe states that: "Although examples are known , puzzle rings are not common before 1700", and there is no contextual or stylistic evidence to date this ring to before 1711.This finger ring has therefore not been reported as Treasure under the 1996 Treasure Act.
