Description: | Gold Finger Ring. Cast and beaten lentoid or rhomboid bezel crowded with triangular stamps of lengths 0.8mm-1.6mm and possibly other differently sized impressions from the same stamps differently aligned; the impressions are densest along one side of the bezel where it seems the larger stamps follow its edge. The band is a thin (of 1.8mm median width) strip of gold now projecting eccentrically from either end of the bezel. Peter Spencer kindly confirms to the finder (by letter dated 14 April 2014) that this is a Viking ring. Suggested date: Early Medieval: 860-925. In view of its date and material this object is to be submitted to the Treasure process, reference TBC.Length (as found): 47mm, Width (bezel): 14.5mm, Thickness (bezel): 1.4mm, Weight: 3.72gms.
