Title
Medieval : Finger Ring
Description
English: A complete cast copper alloy finger ring of medieval date. The finger ring has a circular hoop with a D-shaped section and a wide, circular bezel. The bezel is engraved with a Lombardic letter T within a beaded border. The shoulders are wide and taper slightly into the hoop and both are engraved with an elongated X. This ring was probably used as a seal matrix.

The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is slightly worn. The finger ring is 24.3mm in diameter, 12.4mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 7.8g.

A similar example can be seen on the PAS database: GLO-B38CE5.
