Title
A Medieval silver fede ring
Description
English: 2005 T84

"A silver fede (or fide) ring of which the style indicates a date circa 1480 - 1520. The internal diameter is approximately 21.5mm x 20. The Hoop is 6mm wide with three engraved panels: two with stylised floral or sunburst motifs, one with geometric decoration on hatched background. Bezel in the form of two gloved hands with fingers clasped together; above the hands is a crown or floral spay, with what might be the top a heart at its base. The hands and crown are lightly gilded. The ring is in exceptionally good condition. There are a few tiny metal flaws inside the hoop but no other damage or defects whatsoever."
