The crown of the thimble is domed and has a central pit surrounded by two circumferential grooves. This is surrounded by circles of pits which are again divided into a grid-like formation with the squares instead forming a trapezoidal shape corresponding to the widening dome. An un-pitted band separates the sides from the dome. The rim, also un-pitted, …

Object type: RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description: A silver twisted wire ring. Dimensions: Length: 18 mm Width: 17 mm Thickness: 3 mm Weight: 0.8 g Discussion: The option of this being an Early Medieval find was discarded on the basis of construction as it is made from a strip rather than a rod and also due to the format of the terminals. Also on the basis of construction (made of a strip of twisted silver with a twisted wire) the option of it being of Medieval date was put aside. On further inspection the item was found to probably be an element from a more elaborate piece of jewellery dating to…
