Roman silver finger ring fragment of Guiraud type 2b. The ring retains only about 50% of the bezel and one shoulder. The bezel would have originally been oval with a recessed oval cell in the centre that would have mounted a glass or stone but which is now missing. Flanking the stone and running along the edge of both sides is a line of stamped annulars that are confined to the bezel. The shoulder is undecorated and narrows to the hoop which is now truncated. This is an addendum to 2012T279 GLO-E86407 and represents the missing second half of the ring.

Finger ring dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, made from silver or another white metal with enamelled decoration. Although now incomplete and bent, it was clearly originally very small and quite flimsy. The hoop is missing a small part at its narrowest part, where it is 2.5mm wide and nor more than 0.8mm thick; the breaks appear fairly fresh. The hoop then flares gently in width to the shoulders, which expand and flatten to form a flat shield-shaped bezel. This is decorated with a shield of arms comprising three diagonal cells part-filled with decayed enamel, with an&…
