Description: | A late Medieval finger ring with a bezel that could be used as a seal matrix. It is copper alloy and has a hoop which is D shaped in section. This flares to form the flat oval bezel. The design is recessed and is of a letter V with a crown above it. This is a type of design that became very popular on 15th century signet rings (Harvey and McGuiness, page 93). The metal is slightly corroded and has a dark green to black patina.
