Title
Post Medieval decade ring- DUR-1B73E3
Description
English: Cast copper alloy Post Medieval finger ring, a decade ring, dating to c.1600-1800.

It is circular in plan with a projecting flat circular bezel (diameter of 10.77mm) and ten small projecting knops around the outer circumference. The bezel is decorated with the grooved letters 'IHS', with a cross on the top of the H and an arrow pointing out of the bottom of it.

Decade rings were used for the rosary- to repeat the Ave and Paternoster prayers. They were introduced in the 10th century but became more popular at times of religious tension, in particular the 16th century onwards.
