A medieval finger-ring consisting of a flattened hoop and a raised pyramidal bezel. The bezel has a rectangular setting at its apex designed to contain a purple stone (probably an amethyst), which is now loose. The bezel has received some damage at its base. The stone was found loose inside the bezel suggesting that some sort of organic material which has decayed held it in place.

Description of object Decorative gold ring with a D-shaped cross section. Externally plain, the inner face is engraved in Gothic textura (black letter) script, though the reading is not clear. Allowing for the first letter as I and the last two as LT, one possibility is a garbled version of 'I VOELT', 'I wish it', where the V has been written as an F (common in Welsh), and the O and E have been elided. Other possibilities are 'I felt', or a scrambled INRI, though this requires the 't' to be interpreted as an unusual cross. 'Iesi' does not appear to fit. The hoop has an internal d…

A medieval possible finger ring made of copper alloy. The ring is sub triangular in plan and D shaped in section. It has no decoration. The ring has some similarities of shape with stirrup shaped rings (as in Oman 1974 or Egan and Pritchard 1991), but is not a true example since the hoop itself is triangular or stirrup shaped, rather than the hoop being circular but thickened to form a raised bezel as is the case with real stirrup shaped rings. The ring has a glossy brownish green patina surviving on the inner face and is likely to date from the thirteenth, fourteenth or fifteenth cent…
