Title
FINGER RING
Description
English:

Part of an enamelled copper alloy medieval finger ring with traces of gilding possibly in a Limoges style of around the second half of 16th century. The ring consist of a high box bezel with the socket for the 'stone' empty.The shoulders of the ring are decorated on all four sides with circular spots of light blue enamel with slender blue triangles pointing down the hoop of the ring. The other surfaces are decorated with incised curliques in which the gilding survives. Under the bezel the ring is decorated a saltire cross that also has gilding. The hoop is incomplete and may have been decorated but this is not clear from the photographs (the writer has only seen photos of the ring). For a well preserved gold, high status example see Scarisbrick and Henig (2003) p.57.
