Title
Early Post Medieval: Silver gilt finger ring
Description
English: An incomplete cast silver gilt finger ring, of Early Post Medieval dating (16th to 17th Centuries AD).

Less than 25% of the finger ring is present, consisting of a small section of the hoop. It consists of a strip of silver with a rectangular section. Borders are present along the upper and lower edges, consisting of a double raised ridge. It is broken at each end. A stamped diamond pattern is present along the centre of the strip, between the borders. The inside surface is plain. No maker's mark is present.

It measures 11.41 mm in length, 7.69 mm wide and 1.15 mm thick. It weighs 0.5 g.

The finger ring fragment is light yellow to grey colour, with an even surface patina.

Similar finger rings have been recorded on the PAS database as SWYOR-F5ABF6 (2011 T613), SUR-126873 (2011 T293) and IOW-8A5267 (2009 T512) which have been attributed 16th or 17th century dates.
