A silver clasped hands finger ring. Treasure Case: 2019 T817.
Description:
A complete post medieval, silver 'fede' finger ring. The bezel depicts two hands clasped together, the details of the fingers are picked out with shallow incised lines. Flanking the hands on both sides are rectangular shaped cuffs. The cuffs are decorated with incised traverse lines, one at the top and two lines at the bottom. The band details four incised lines positioned to create a diamond shape pointing down the band, followed by two stipples on each side of the band.
The band is worn, leaving the decorative details faint on one side and non-existent on the other. There is a break just off-centre of the bottom of the band and the object is slightly squashed, forming an oval shape. There are no markings on the inside of the band.
Dimensions:
The ring measures 20.5mm in width, 19mm in height and has a thickness of 1.1mm. The object weighs 3 grams.
Discussion:
Finger rings depicting clasps hands were a popular love token from the 12th century through and well into the 19th century. The joined hands were a symbol of the love and faith between two people and come from the Italian e mani in fede (hands in faith/trust). The shallow design and squared cuffs are present on a number of other examples found on the PAS database. These include SOM-9B2633; SF-2FC8A9 and KENT-EC13F5. SUSS-76D031 has a similar diamond/hatched design.
Notes:
As the ring appears to consist of more than 10% precious metal and is likely to be more than 300 years old, it thus qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.
