A medieval finger ring formed of a flat band with a tapering profile. The band is decorated with three square panels; each panel is divided into four cells by a cross. The central panel forms the bezel, each of the smaller cells are engraved with a cross that emanate from the outside corner. The other two flanking sided panels are further divided by a cross saltire. The panels are separated from each other by several doted lines.<\/p>\n\n
An almost exact copy of this find was found at Larks Hill, Worcester and was dated to the late 12th century (Hinton, 2006, 188-189). Again further examples of this style of artwork are found on the Iona spoon, also dated to the 12th century (Hinton, 2006, 184-185). Finally another finger ring of very similar design was found nearby at Highnam and reported under the 1996 Treasure Act, 2005 T511 (DCMS, 2008, 114, 351).<\/p>\n\n
Diameter 20mm, width of bezel 8.5mm, width of hoop 5mm, thickness 0.7mm, weight 2.14g<\/p>\n\n
