Description: | A complete silver finger ring of post medieval or modern date.The ring has a flat rectangular bezel with the monogram JC inscribed within a lozenge. The coroners of the bezel have a series of lines radiating outwards from the lozenge shaped panel. There are then two 'steps' down from the bezel to form the shoulders of the ring and each of these steps has incised line decoration. There are two rounded panels on either side of the shoulders with incised lines form a foliate decoration. The rest of the ring is undecorated. Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database, see SWYOR-C258B1, SF-9E7062 and LVPL-7E0334. The comments on these suggest a possible 19th century date and the lettering on this particular example would agree. As such the ring dates to later that 2013 and thus does not qualify as treasure under the 1996 Treasure Act.
