Title |
15th century silver gilt finger-ring, incomplete |
||
Description |
English: Incomplete 15th century silver gilt iconographic finger ring. It is triangular in section with each edge and the central mid-rib accentuated. The central rib clearly divides the bezel into two facets. On each is inscribed a crude and unidentifiable figure. Usually these take the form of saints, but in this case the second appears to have a skull-like head - possibly a depiction of life and death? Either side of the bezel the shoulders have also two facets. These are decorated with a roughly oval recess nearest the bezel, from which a groove extends downards to the (oldish) breaks. Either side of this groove are digonal grooves, and the whole appears to depict a flower on a stem with leaves. Much of the suface of the ring is blackened and gilding survives only in the grooves and recesses. Measures 21x7.5x4mm. Estimated diameter c.22mm (internal 17mm). Weighs 3.73g. Cf Treasure Annual Report 2001 no.104 from Alton, Hampshire. |
