Title |
Medieval signet finger ring |
||
Description |
English: Medieval copper alloy ring seal dating to the 15th century AD, consisting of a broadly circular band and central bezel. The band is 'D'-shaped section, with a flat inner and curved outer edge. The band expands to meet the bezel which is oval in plan. The oval bezel is decorated with an incised design of an ovoid frame which containing a letter R with a simple crown above and small lines or possible leaves around the sides of the R. The R is incised in reverse as the ring would have been pressed into a wax seal, causing the design to appear the right way. The ring measures 25.7mm long by 24.1mm wide, the bezel is 4.3mm thick and the band 2.8mm thick and the ring weighs 7.42g.
Signet rings with a crowned initial and branches to each side became increasingly common in the 15th century, it is thought the initial was for the owners first name (Harvey and MacGuiness 1996:93). Similar rings can be seen on this database, <a href="http://database/artefacts/record/id/433457">SUSS-D1CD32</a>, LON-2B8E94 and LANCUM-BBFD27. |
