MEDIEVAL FINGER RING

1500

Cast cu-alloy finger ring probably dating from the later medieval or post-medieval period. The ring is plane and very worn, its hoop circular and the bezel only an expansion of the hoop. If there was an engraving or some other kind of decoration on the bezel, it has worn off. On the inside of the bezel, however, remains a small stamp which is still fairly visible: it is a small arrow complete with arrowhead and feathers with some lettering (?) or other decoration across the shaft. It could probably be the maker's mark.
