Cast copper alloy Late Medieval finger ring. The hoop has a circular cross section and widens at the angular shoulders.

The bezel is sub-oval and flat. It has a design in relief in the centre which consists of a W with an indistinct design above- possibly representing a crown- with two scroll like patterns visible. This type of ring is known as a signet ring and the design could relate to a specific family.

Cast copper alloy ring, incised lines decorating one face. The ring has a sqaure-ish cross section with both faces being flat. It is not a finger ring. This type of ring is hard to date as it is a very simple design which has been used for a long time. Due to the patina of the ring (an even dark green) it is most likely to be Late-Medieval in date.
