Gold Finger-ring with gold cloisonne enamel bezel, filigree and granules. The hoop is a flat band of metal which expands to form a back-plate for the bezel and for the decoration at the shoulder. There is marked median line on the band as though it had been forged by folding in the edges of a strip. Although slightly damaged the ring appears to be D-shaped in plan and on each shoulder carries a deep strip of gold defining a triangular field filled with large granules of gold, several of which are missing. This ornament is finished by further granules at the outer ends of the strips. It…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
Silver ring constructed from a convex band of metal tapering at both ends to flattened wires which join together in a spiral knot, their extremities tightly wound round the hoop on either side of this. The band is impressed with two opposing rows of identical triangular stamps enclosing three pellets in relief, 19 in all; the apex of a 20th impression is also present. Discussion: The ring is of Viking manufacture, and represents a miniature version of similarly constructed silver so-called 'ribbon’ arm-rings, such as that found in the not-far-distant Bossall-Flaxton hoard, which wa…

The ring has a flat, tapered hoop with a plain bezel area set with two small cabochon stones. The shoulders feature ribbed patterning including two rows of small raised beads. The workmanship is fairly perfunctory; the external grooves and ridges can be seen on the interior of the band. The surface is extensively scratched and damaged. The garnets are of a purplish hue, unlike the garnets normally seen in classical jewellery. Dimensions and metal content: Internal diameter: 15mm; width of hoop at bezel: 11mm; weight: 4.8g. X-ray fluorescence analysis conducted at the British Museum …
