While this ring conforms to 16th century shape and decoration, the use of a flat hoop and bezel, with metal of this thinness, is extremely unusual and has no parallels in the British Museum collection. While we cannot rule out the possibility that it may be 16th-17th century, the balance of probability is that it is no…

Silver hawking vervel comprising a ring of rectangular section inscribed with Italic capitals on the outside with the owner's name: IAMES*BERKBE:* Vervels were used to attach the leather jesses on a hawk's legs to a leash.
