Title
2010 T634 Late Medieval finger-ring
Description
English: The bezel of a late medieval finger-ring, consisting of a heart sprouting flowers held by two hands. The remainder of the hoop is lost. These rings occur quite frequently as friendship or fede rings.

The ring is silver-gilt and dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century.

Dimensions: length 18 mm, height 8 mm.

Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
