Description: | Medieval copper alloy finger-ring of stirrup form and possibly of late 12th or 13th century dateThe finger-ring appears complete but the hoop is distorted (with a distorted overall length of 25.9mm, a distorted width of 20.4mm and a weight of 3.5g). The hoop is of shallow D-shaped section (with a width of 2.5mm and a thickness of 0.5mm) and gradually widens towards the shoulders. The bezel (with a depth of 4.8mm and a width of 7.4mm) is of stirrup form but with a near-circular flat top (5.7mm diameter). The sides of the stirrup appear to have circular recesses or possibly a circular perforation containing a plug (of 2-3mm diameter). There is no applied decoration on the surface of the ring. The surface is worn and corroded with a pale-green corrosion overlying the red-brown metal.
