DUR-833E17 fede ring |

Description |
English: A bezel fragment of a silver 'fide' finger-ring of late Medieval date (Ad 1400-1500).
The bezel in the form of two clasped hands with a hoop made from a strip of metal with the ends soldered together at a butt joint. The hands were soldered on top of the joint, both masking and reinforcing it. Sleeve cuffs and folds are represented by moldings and grooves. The object is silver and retains the majority of its gold gilt. There are some minor incised marks on both surfaces of the object, these were most likely incurred post depositionally. This motif originated during the Roman period, however it became popular across Europe in the 15th century, with fide rings being given at the time of betrothal or marriage, the name taken from the Italian le mani in fede (hands in faith/trust). The hands on medieval examples are usually moulded in relief and most are shown with sleeve cuffs; in some cases the hands are surmounted by a crown. The hoop may be plain, decorated with geometric designs or carry a devotional inscription intended as a protective or curative device A silver ring of similar type and date is illustrated in the Treasure Report 2002, nos 101-2; 2003, no. 193. Other similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database: SF-9F6032, SF-A2E9B6, NMS-BF8406, SUSS-FC42E5 and DUR-A1C2E2. |
