The bezel is plain but on more elaborate examples of such rings there are designs and letters. One side of the ring is flat whilst the other is rounded. The ten knops around the circumference of the ring suggest that it was a decade ring, used as a discreet way of assisting in the saying of the ten prayers that make up the Rosary in the C…

A copper-alloy finger ring of probable post-medieval to modern date. The ring is a plain band of copper-alloy and as such is very difficult to date. However, purple hue of the metal is perhaps indicative of a post-medieval or modern alloy. The ring measures 21.68 mm in diameter, 7.18 mm high, 1.53 mm thick and weighs 3.9 grams.
