Description: | A complete silver annular hawk ring or vervel, of Post Medieval dating (17th Centuries AD).The vervel consists of a flat annular ring, with inscribed lettering on one side. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The inscription on the front reads: * George Ashton of.The vervel has a diameter of 11.44 mm, and is 1.04 mm thick. The internal diameter of the central hole measures 6.57 mm. It weighs 0.6 g.The vervel is a dark grey colour, with an even surface patina.Vervels of the annular ring type are among the most commonly recorded type of vervels on the PAS database, including: SWYOR-9CBF24, PAS-2BC222, SUR-D32343, NMS-A8D4D7, HESH-C74F57, HESH-C5E067, HAMP-039157, PAS-B05027, DUR-756E12, NARC-7CF046, KENT-DE4593, SOM-AD9013, NMS-092867, NMS-2C1204, WMID-1738A6, NCL-9FC501, BUC-4A6CC2 and PAS-B5EC63.The similarity of the lettering on this vervel to that of other examples dated to the 17th Century, and the probable association of this item with a person living in the early 17th century, indicate that it is likely to date from that time as well. As an item made of silver and being older than 300 years old at the time of its recovery, the vervel qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.
