Bezel and part of hoop of medieval cast cu-alloy signet finger ring, probably dating from around the 15th/16th century. The hoop was plain and circular in cross-section while the bezel is flat and oval in shape.

Just below the leaves are the letters R and A, in mirror writing. The finger ring was probably used as a personal signet ring since it does not indicate occupation or status of the wearer.

The finger ring is D-shaped in section, being rounded to the outside, and with a tiny groove flanking each edge. The finger ring is very worn and appears to have pairs of incised vertical lines at intervals, presumably as decoration. There is also a possible lombardic D with four dots in a diamond shape preceeding it, although this is questionable and could be down to patina loss and corrosion - this has not come out terribly well in the image.

A medieval gold circular finger-ring, of small diameter, consisting of a very worn hoop. The hoop is decorated with a symmetrical design in the bezel area. The square central hole, between two engraved vertical lines, the two further panels both contained a punched dot, a hole and a further engraved vertical line. Each of the holes suggests a different diameter and these may have been designed for glass or gem settings, but there is no evidence that these were ever inserted. The finger-ring dates to the 14th century. Diameter of hoop 18mm.

A cast copper alloy finger ring. In plan the ring is circular and in section it is a ‘D’ shape. The outer surface is decorated with a linear groove at each edge and has blocks of fine transverse grooves. There is possibly a stamped asymmetrical six-pointed star between two of these blocks.

A cast copper alloy finger ring. The ring has a very thin hoop - which has a circular section. The hoop is very corroded and pitted. The bezel is square in shape, but each side of the square rises to form a pyramidal shape, with the top cut off. There is a circle aperture in the centre of the bezel which would once have held a stone, this has now been lost. The reverse of the bezel is flat and appears to have been filed. The metal is a light greenish-grey colour. This ring is probably medieval in date.

Cast copper-alloy finger ring of probable later Medieval date, with engraved oval bezel. The hoop is plain with irregular sides and roughly D-shaped cross-section.
