A medieval finger-ring bezel in the shape of an angel holding a heart. It measures 12.57mm in height, 14.16mm in width and weighs 2.69g. On the reverse is a mark which indicates where the hoop was soldered. The bezel is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth centuries, and so qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 (J P Robinson, Curator of Medieval Collections, British Museum, 9th August 2005). A finger ring with a very similar bezel has been found in Kingston Deverill, Wiltshire (WILT-2C75F1).

Late medieval silver gilt finger-ring with a slightly bent c.24.5mm diameter hoop (internal 21.5mm). The hoop is flat in section and 5mm wide. The join of the two ends is still visible behind the incomplete two-dimensional mount, in place of a bezel.

At the centre of each diamond is a closed or open o shape, probably not a punch because each is inconsistent with the others in shape and size. One, adjacent to the central mount, has a straight groove 'closing' the gap of a c shape. …

Incomplete 15th century silver gilt iconographic finger ring. It is triangular in section with each edge and the central mid-rib accentuated. The central rib clearly divides the bezel into two facets. On each is inscribed a crude and unidentifiable figure. Usually these take the form of saints, but in this case the second appears to have a skull-like head - possibly a depiction of life and death? Either side of the bezel the shoulders have also two facets. These are decorated with a roughly oval recess nearest the bezel, from which a groove extends downards to the (oldish) breaks. Eith…
