Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

The hoop is semi-circular in cross section and gradually expands towards the back. The bezel is oval in plan, of flat section and has a finely scalloped edge. The upper surface of the bezel is finely engraved with a monogram possibly including the letters S, P and B in a flowing open knot of foliage. The reverse of the bezel is roughly incised with radial grooves which highlight the scalloping at the bezel's edges.The whole of the ring is heavily patinated and this obscures the engaving to some extent.
