Romano-British discoidal bezel of finger-ring with enamel cruciform decoration. Around a central round cell part filled with decayed enamel an annular cell contains eight alternating trapezoidal areas of dull red enamel and of blue and white millefiori surrounded by pinkish red. On the concave underside thirteen very fine engraved lines radiate from off-centre. An engraved line encircles the side just below the top and above another discontinuous line. The lower edge appears to be unbroken, and there is no obvious evidence for junctions with the hoop. Diameter 11.5mm. Thickness 3.5mm.
