A medieval finger ring of iconographic type. The bezel is hexagonal and contains a depiction of God the Father holding the figure of Christ on the Cross. This was the conventional way to portray the Trinity in the late medieval period, though the dove representing the Holy Spirit seems to be absent.

Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy strap-end probably of medieval date (c. 13th-15th century). It is formed of a copper-alloy sheet folded widthways; it has been slightly compressed and angled at the fold. The corners are also angled off at the fold. At the attachment end is a separate rivet, set centrally, to connect the two halves. Plain on the reverse, the front of the strap-end is decorated with a pair of transverse lines towards the attachment end, these overlain by an engraved cross in saltire. Such decoration appears to have been produced before perforation for riveting as the rivet interrupts it. …
