Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: North Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iconongraphic finger-ring in the medieval style. The bezel is formed of three vertical panels, the central one containing the rudimentary, half length depiction of an unidentifiable saint. The two side panels are decorated with an improvised foliate motif and the reverse of the hoop is fashioned to simulate cabling. The finger-ring is gold (?may be brass) but is of no great age and is likely to have been produced as an historicist piece in the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries.
