The outside of the band is decorated with engraved designs of a poppy, a rose and a thistle with a black background (in enamel). The bezel consists of a skull and crossbones picked out in white enamel. It is in very good condition and all the detail is very clear. The design is significant of the times and represent certain things. The rose is for England, the thistle for Scotland (and the Stuarts) and the poppy for Holland.

A cast copper alloy finger ring dating to the Medieval period. The object is 'stirrup' shaped with a slender hoop rising to a pointed bezel. At the top of the bezel is an oval recess for a setting, now missing. The hoop is D-shaped in cross-section and is incomplete. One break is worn and rounded suggesting it occurred during antiquity while the other is rough and due to more recent damage. This ring is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 326, refs: 1608, 1609). It is suggested that this form was popular from the mid-12th to the mid-15th century. However, they…
