Description: | Treasure reference number 2014 T353: a medieval silver finger ring (AD c.1200-1400). The bezel is formed by twin miniature bezels, each holding an oval setting. The area between them is open. The shoulders of both minature bezels meet a square panel at either side. Both panels are decorated with an incised border and a central cross (X), with a pellet in each angle. The hoop tapers to the base. The hoop is mishapen at the base and contains a small crack. Traces of gilding survive on the bezels and the panels.The ring is similar in style to 2002 T142, a gold example from Cannington, Somerset. Similar examples also exist in the British Museum Collection (O M Dalton, Catalogue of Finger-Rings in the British Museum, London 1912, nos 1816, 1817 and 1818).See also DENO-284824, BUC-1D73B2, PAS-27A9F7 and KENT-E4BFA2.
