Roman silver finger ring. Plain band with slightly expanded bezel bearing inscribed palm branch. The band is broken.

Very rough silver(?) signet ring with initials MM or WW. The silver was most probably debased since it has a yellow/dark greyish patina. On each side of the bezel, the ring is decorated with a four-petalled flower. There seems to be a modern (?) repair next to one of the side panels - possibly carried out in purer silver.
Found before Treasure Act of 1996
It might possibly be a Southern German Type.

Late 15th or early 16th century silver-gilt ring with much of the gilding worn off. The engraving is very crude. The hoop has spiralled bands enclosing either a geometrical pattern or imitation letters, defined by the hatching or more commonly by the spaces between the hatching. One side of the bezel depicts a figure which at first sight appears to be a naked female - possibly Eve? It may be a figure holding something pressed to their abdomen and chest, such as Saint Barbara holding a tower or another saint holding the emblem of martyrdom. The other side of the bezel depicts two space…

A complete silver and enamel ring. It has a circular band which is in split at the back, so that it can be adjusted to fit.
