Title
Post medieval: Silver-gilt Fede finger ring
Description
English: A silver gilt finger ring of 'Fede' type. The ring is complete and its large diameter suggests it was for a male hand. The plain band is D-shaped in section and incorporates a pair of clasped hands. The separately-attached bezel is in the form of a quatrefoil which incorporates a heart against a field of crossing lines (both rather clumsily executed).

Fede type rings are well known and a number of complete and fragmentary examples have been recorded under the Treasure Act (eg 2007T49, which has a crowned heart motif; 2007T107; 2007T342; and 2010 T158). This item is more than 300 years old and composed of more than 10% precious metal. It therefore should be considered Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.
