| Title |
Late Medieval silver gilt fede finger ring |
||
| Description |
English: The finger-ring is intact and of 'fede' type. The bezel comprises a heart, flanked on each side by a four-petalled flower, symbolising the heart sprouting flowers. Above the heart is a three-pronged crown containing four circular perforations. The flowers, hoop and top of the heart have been enhanced with short incised lines. The hoop comprises two integral interlace strands, joining at the rear with clasped hands, symbolising faith or trust. The clasped hands have cuffs, embellished with circular punched marks. Traces of gilding survive over much of the surface of the ring.
The finger-ring can be paralleled with recent treasure discoveries: a 15th century silver-gilt finger-ring found at Covenham St Mary, Lincolnshire (Robinson, 2002, p 91) has a bezel comprising clasped hands surmounted with a crown. A 15th century silver-gilt finger-ring found in the Blackburn area of Lancashire (Robinson, 2001, p 63) has joined hands on one side of the hoop and a heart sprouting flowers on the opposing side.
