An Early Medieval gold twisted wire finger ring. The finger ring is composed of two tapering, square-sectioned rods which are twisted, slightly irregularly, together. Each rod is at its thickest at the 'bezel' portion of the finger ring and on the outer face at this section. The hoop on the inner portion, opposite the 'bezel', has a gap. It appears that the terminals of the two rods are not co-joined to each other forming a loop, instead they form a penannular loop which is possibly intentional. Each terminal has one rod which has been slightly coiled and flattened to f…
