Title
Medieval finger ring
Description
English: A copper-alloy finger ring of probable medieval date. This design can be paralled with a 15th century posy ring from Surrey (D. Williams; 1999; pp.185), although it could conceivably be earlier. The slightly squashed and corroded hoop measures 19.2mm in diameter, by 3.3mm high and 1.2mm thick. The inner face is flat and the outer surface has raised moulded decoration in the form of a ropework design. The weight is 1.41g.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Hertfordshire
Date between 1300 and 1500
