Title
Post medieval: Silver-gilt Fede finger ring
Description
English: A late medieval or early post- medieval finger- ring, consisting of a flat hoop cast with the form of two clasped hands (a "fede" or friendship ring). Incised lines at the wrist of the hand probably indicate the drapery of a cuff. The hoop is decorated with lozenges alternating with rectangular panels and a central square panel engraved with a cross. The rectangular panels are cross-hatched.

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

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.
