Description: | Fragment of post-medieval silver probable finger ring, almost straightened and with both ends broken, cracked when found and now in two pieces. Running between a pair of raised ribs, both with a longitudinal groove, is a median band of counter-relief decoration, a repeating pattern of sets of four pellets separated by transverse ribs with a lozenge at mid-point.Probably 16th -17th century.Weight 0.83g. Width 5mm. Thickness 0.6mm.Three rings with similar geometric patterns on the exterior (British Museum accession numbers; 1856,0701.2706 1961,1202.130 ; 2003,0506.1) have been given a likely 16th-17th century date in view of the brief capital letter inscription of one of them (1856,0701.2706) and the style of the decoration.
