MEDIEVAL FINGER RING

1400

Cast silver fragment with incised and stamped decoration, not seen by KL and described from the drawing done by ME. The fragment is truncated at both ends, its central section has a flattened, triangular section on which are a number of incomprehensible incised lines. Either side of this, the section narrows and becomes flat, with a central groove. These areas of the object bear rows of what look like diamond shaped stamp impressions between which are incised lines. The decoration is described as 'floral'. The object probably represents the remains of a late Medieval iconographic finger ring.
