The object is a Medieval gold finger ring. The ring has a slender hoop which has been distorted in plan. This distortion was probably due to plough damage, as it was found within the plough soil. The loop has a 'D' shaped section which slightly expands towards the bezel. The bezel is oval in plan and is set with a cabochon setting. Jon Radley (Keeper of Geology, Warwickshire Museum) commented the setting may be polished quartz, but this could not be confirmed unless a destructive analysis was carried out. A small, integral, transverse rectangular ridge decorates either side of …
