Description: | A silver finger ring in two parts dating to the Medieval period, c. AD 1100 to 1200. The ring is broken and has a plain hoop with a wide sub-rectangular bezel. The bezel is divided into three square sections. The centre square contains an incised Maltese cross with a border running around it. The two cells either side contain the same incised motif of a Maltese cross within a square border. Projecting from the border and small incised lines which run between the arms of the crosses. Between the squares there two lines between the cells with shorter lines running perpendicularly towards the edges. From the two outer cells there are small triangles pointing away from the bezel.The Maltese cross motif can be seen on several finger rings recorded on the PAS database such as LANCUM-018C08 although the bezel is not as clearly separated from the hoop. LIN-5465E1 is also similar however the space between the cells is decorated differently.
