Complete Post Medieval handmade copper alloy finger ring, c.AD 1400-1500. This ring is made from two copper wires twined around each other, then flattened to form the ring. The simplicity of this design makes it difficult to date, although the rough and uneven form of this ring indicates that it is handmade, which has informed the dating of this item to the late Medieval period.

A Medieval copper-alloy bezel which has detached from finger-ring (c. 1400-c. 1700). The object is flat and circular. The upper face is decorated with a deeply incised but relatively crudely applied design that would have acted as a matrix for impressing upon waxen seals. The design has a border of fifteen evenly spaced small circular pits which enclose a motif resembling a capital letter 'T' within a horseshoe shape; alternatively, it may be the letter M, perhaps for the Virgin Mary (compare BH-57A4E5). There are oblique grooves above the cross-bar which may represent sp…
