Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
A complete cast silver finger ring with intaglio, of Roman datin (2nd to 3rd Centuries AD). The finger ring, sub-oval in plan, is a small example of Henig Type II. It has an oval hoop of D-shaped cross-section and smooth rounded shoulders, with an intaglio recessed in the centre of the flat bezel. The intaglio, a tiny oval carnelian, is set with its upper flat face a little proud of the bezel. One end of the gem is damaged, making it harder to identify the subject of the engraved image, which appears to show a two-tiered device flanked by ?cornucopiae or similar. The ring has an…

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Published
Coarse coiled silver-coloured ring of quadrangular section, widening in the middle and tapering at the end with small finials. This puzzling object is undiagnostic, as it is too coarse for an earring and too small for a nosering for an animal. Analysis results reveal that is made of 97% silver. I find it hard to place or date and would suggest that it is likely to be of fairly recent manufacture.
