An incomplete silver modified finger ring, of probable Post Medieval dating (AD 1700 to AD 1800). The probable finger ring has been divided into three sections.

Due to the interlocking nature, it is hard to determine if there is an inscription or any maker's marks on the interior of the hoop. The exterior consists of a twisted wire border both top and bottom, with a recess on the internal edge. Between the two borders is …
