central device in the form of a merchant's mark (comprising an encircled cross above interlaced cross stems, between small quatrefoils), within a single rope/indented border.

Silver finger ring, now flattened out (to judge from the decoration and overall length, one fragment of hoop is missing). The decoration, which extends all along the external face, has been first engraved and then inlaid with niello (now partially preserved). Three square panels of ornament with single line borders, are each separated by two 2-strand rows of dots (reminiscent of cablework strands found on some finger rings at this time); the fields at each end are incomplete and differ - one without a border

The shoulders have two raised moulded ribs, leading to a circular moulded bezel containing a design, appearing to depict a crowned letter ‘W’.

Bezel from a gilt or silvered copper alloy finger ring of Early Post-Medieval date. The raised cast design depicts a cuffed hand emerging from each side of the hoop and gripping a central heart. Two flowers emerge from the top of the heart and are flattened by a crown. The remnant of the hoop has the beginnings of an incised design, but not enough survives to determine if it represented decoration or an inscription. Traces of gilding or silvering survive on areas over the surface of the ring.
