ARCHAEOLOGICAL TREASURE CASE : 2014 T341 Scallop shouldered finger-ring; bezel and shoulder fragment. Silver. Octagonal box bezel with part of scalloped shoulder on each side; oval moulded blue/green glass bezel standing figure facing front. Bezel dimensions 11 x 9 mm, intaglio 8 x 6mm. It belongs to the commonest sub-group where the setting is an octagonal box, this is not a very well-dated form within the third to fourth centuries but the intaglio is made of moulded glass and this suggests a strong third century floruit going into the fourth century.
