A complete plain gold finger ring of unknown date but probably from the post medieval - modern period. The ring is very thin, undecorated band. It has an oval cross-section, forming a 'traditional court' shape band. There is a slight chip or scratch in the object. There is no hallmark or any other diagnostic feature to the ring. The object is similar in style to WMID-E6F361, WMID-E6E061 and ESS-F1E6C3. Natalie Zimmer (pers.comms) has confirmed that because the object has no features that would enable a secure date, there is not enough evidence to date this ring to pre-1719. T he…
