Description: | A silver finger ring of Medieval date, c. 1300-1500.The finger ring is complete, and is circular in profile and rectangular in section. The bezel decoration consists of a pair of clasped hands, each narrowing slightly toward the wrist, which forms the shoulders. The rest of the ring is separated into four rectangular panels with the outer border and internal lettering of each panel in relief. The field of each panel has been decorated with incised cross-hatching. The panels read: cross potent/Ih/ES/VS. The inside of the ring is undecorated and bears no hallmarks or maker's marks. The size of the ring makes it likely that this was made for and worn by a man.
