Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Kent
Workflow stage: Published
A cast silver finger ring, circular hoop with incised cross decoration and two opposing snake heads on the bezel.
Discussion: although snake head rings are known in the Roman period, this particular ring is modern and probably made in the last 200 years.
Conclusion: although this object is composed of more than 10% precious metal it is not more than 300 years old and so does not qualify as treasure as stipulated in the Treasure Act 1996.
