A highly tinned copper-alloy finger ring of post-Medieval date, probably 18-19th century. The finger ring has an undecorated hoop with a flat bezel. The bezel is roughly hexagonal in plan with an impression of corded decoration around the edges. The flat surface has a crude anchor carved into its face. The object was originally tinned to give it a silvery appearance. The light weight of the object and poor production quality suggests it was a low cost trinket rather than a valuable piece of jewellery.

Copper alloy Post Medieval finger ring, 18th century in date. It has ac circular hoop which is flat all the way around. The outer face is decorated with vertical lines all around the diameter. On the inner face there are three lions stamped, this is presumably the makers mark. The Norfolk FLO had a case where a copper alloy finger ring had been stamped with a lion and the word GOLD, presumably to try to fool someone into thinking it was a gold ring. The marks on this finger ring may be something similar.

A copper alloy Finger ring dating from the Post Medieval period. It has a thin circular bezel which is integral to the loop. The loop is D shaped in section and has slightly flared shoulders. There is no decoration. The ring is similar in shape to Post Medieval signet rings, but the lack of any design is unusual. It may have been a blank for inscribing a signet on at a later date. It has a smooth grey patina perhaps suggesting a white metal coating. Compare LIN-D9DD46.

An incomplete cast copper alloy finger ring, probably post-medieval in date. The ring has a split bezel. The hoop has a D-shaped section which expands into a flattened, triangular terminal.

The terminal has been decorated with a stamped design, which comprises a raised line down the centre with arches either side with a pellet in each field. The decoration appears to continue around the hoop, but i…
