Description: | An incomplete gilded silver iconographic finger ring dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1400 to 1500.The object has a sub-rectangular bezel with two faces and a triangular section. Each face of the bezel has an inscribed motif which appears to be a crude representation of two figures, probably saints. The shoulders extend from the bezel smoothly and these have a D-shaped section. There is some incised decoration on the shoulders but it is unclear what it was intended to be. The rest of the hoop appears to be smooth and undecorated. Traces of gilding are still present in the incisions, especially on the bezel. Approximately two-thirds of the ring is present which a small section of the hoop missing.Similar objects are recorded on the PAS database, see for example BH-E08757 and KENT-928DC4.
