A gold posy ring dating to the post medieval period, c. AD 1550 to 1650. The object is sub-circular in plan and D-shaped in section. The edges of the ring are quite sharp suggesting that it was not worn for long before being lost.

There is an inscription on the inside of the ring which reads LOVE + GOD + ABOVE + ALL with the first L in ALL retrograde and small crosses between each word. Roman lettering is used which suggest a…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete gold finger ring dating to the post medieval or modern period. The object is circular in plan and circular in section with no decoration. There are some stamped marks on the inner surface of the ring but these are difficult to decipher. Judy Rudoe of the British Museum says "I cannot decipher the stamped marks inside, and the shape looks recent, so this is one where you say not enough evidence to date pre 1714."

Object type: LUNULA
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Published
The lunula is in two parts and nearly complete, only missing one of the circular terminals. The object is made of gold and so the precious metal content is more than 10%. The lunula is semi-circular in plan although both parts have been folded. There is one part which does not have a terminal and it is this section which is less folded making the semi-circular shape more obvious. The widest section of the lunula is where the two pieces have broken apart and then the object tapers towards the terminals. The section which still has a circular terminal is more severely folded and ther…
