Title
LANCUM-A1EC46: Late medieval or early post-medieval finger ring
Description
English: Cast cu-alloy finger ring dating to the Medieval period. It is composed of a very simple hoop with round cross-sectionand large diameter and a small oval bezel which functions as a seal matrix. The carving is very crude and probably depicts the letter 'I' or possibly 'T'. The letter could be an initial and might either refer to the owner's name or possibly, if the owner was a religious person, it might stand for Jesus. Its dimensions are 23.7x24.72mm (outer) and 19.13x18.68mm (inner).
