Record ID: DOR-29FFC8
Object type: JEWELLERY
Broad period: MODERN
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Published
Two wide, rectangular-sectioned ovoid loops, interlinked and affixed at one end by a truncated bar. Each loop is decorated with applied twisted gold wires forming a running lozenge pattern with loops at the borders, interspersed with tiny globular gold beads. Of unknown function - perhaps part of an earring or decoration for a hair pin. Stylistically, however, it is consistent with late 19th century jewellery of archaising design.

Record ID: CAM-640A63
Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Silver ring similar to Henig Type X. D-shaped in profile with wide shoulders which taper to a narrow band. It is crudely made with a roughened and heavily indented surface. Of particular note is a lip of metal on the underside of the bezel which, if a result of the manufacturing process, has not been neatly smoothed and finished. The flattened bezel has a central depression where a relief figure of the god Aesculapius has been impressed into the metal. The figure is simplistic and somewhat crudely rendered: the god wears a calf-length tunic, his head is turned to the left…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Leeds
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Roman silver finger ring, complete, probably a Henig type II dating from the 1st to 3rd century. It has an oval hoop which expands and swells to a bezel set with an oval, orangey-red intaglio (possibly carnelian?). The intaglio depicts a full-length seated female figure, (possibly Fortuna), facing left holding something outstretched. It is similar to two intaglios illustrated in Henig 1974, (pl. XI, 326-7) though in this case the stone is heavily worn and certain details, for example the diphros on which she is seated and aspects of the cornucopia, are not visible. External diame…
