Medieval silver finger ring
Iconographic ring. It has a concave bezel engraved with an image of St. Christopher bearing a staff and the Christ-child on his shoulder, both face left. The hoop is shaped as a twist or 'cable'with punch marks on the ridges, and is engraved with flowers: two on each shoulder, with one on the hoop below. Substantial traces of green enamel survives on the leaves and stems, and red enamel may have been applied to the flowers
