Description: | A medieval gold finger-ring, with a four-cusped setting containing a transparent imitation 'gemstone'. The hoop is stirrup-shaped and the shoulders are each engraved with panels of foliate decoration. The hoop is slender and slightly bent. The ring probably dates to the 14th or 15th century. Analysis at the British Museum has shown that it is made of gold, and that the 'gemstone' is probably made of glass. The ring weighs 2.7grams, and the diameter is 21mm.
