Working treasure report: A complete gold Medieval finger-ring, with an oval bezel set with a blue stone, possibly sapphire. The hoop of the ring is circular in cross section: the shoulders are broader and taper into a thin band. Either side of the bezel is a narrow transverse ridge. The ring is in good condition, the only defect being that the hoop is slightly bent out of shape. A very similar ring has been found in Kington St Michael, Wiltshire and can be found in the Treasure Annual Report 2003, pg. 102, no. 169. The ring is typical of the late 12th or 13th century

A Medieval gold finger ring of probable 13th century date. The ring is stirrup-shaped set with a green stone (possibly glass or emerald). There are decorative bosses along the shoulders running along a raised ridge. The bosses have punched decoration giving them the appearance of clusters of granulation on one shoulder and stripes on the other: possibly intended to represent a vine with grapes, leaves and tendrils; or another floral design. The ring has been slightly distorted, mostly around the base of the loop. Similar examples can be seen on the database: eg ESS-831C60, ESS-98F924 …

Description: A gold finger ring of Medieval date. It has a d-shaped hoop which is complete. It is decorated on the outside face with lozenges infilled with groups of pellets. It widens slightly to form a stirrup-shaped like bezel with a circular hole for a setting, which is missing. It is bent out of shape due to post-depositional damage. Discussion: For comparison see a silver finger-ring from Ewell, Surrey (2005 T93) dated to the 13th Century.

A rare 'Christogram' gold ring with a black-letter inscription in lower-case letters reading ihc engraved on a sub-oval bezel. The inscription means IESUS CHRISTOS SALVATOR (Jesus saviour of man).

In the Latin-speaking Christianity of Western Europe the most common Christogram is 'IHS' or 'IHC', derived from the first three letters of the Greek name for Jesus, Iota-eta-sigma. The Greek letter eta was transliterated as the Latin letter C due to the visually similar form of the lunate sigma or as Latin S since the two alphabets …
