Gold Post Medieval finger ring, uncertain date. A plain gold band, with a slightly raised central ridge on the outside. The ring has been squashed out of shape but originally but have been round. The band is thin, and flat on the inside. Judy Rudoe (British Museum) has seen an image of this ring and is happy that it is undiagnostic, so cannot be assigned a pre-1700 date.

Copper alloy with gilding. Signet Ring. Cast ring with an oval bezel; the band tapers markedly at the shoulders of the ring so most of the band is narrow and of rounded section. The bezel motif is incised so as to produce a strongly defined relief impression, and depicts a naturalistic female bust coiffed left (on the impression) with puffed diaper-work sleeve tops, a necklace or neck-line and possibly - as the nipples are prominently rendered - bare-breasted. The bust is surrounded by a billeted border which recurs around the edge of the bezel. Gilding traces survive over all surfa…

A copper alloy coiled snake finger ring, dating from the Post-medieval to modern period. The ring is formed of a band around which run three concentric ridges, one along each external edge and one centrally; these ridges are intended to represent the snake's body. The snake's head forms the terminal from one of the outer ridges, and is designed so the head overlays the other ridges and appears to be eating its own tail, which is again formed from one of the concentric ridges. The eye of the snake's head is a circular recess, suggesting that a stone or glass insert once represented the eye.
