Medieval silver finger ring

Silver finger ring with a decorated band

The band is decorated and tapers away from the bezel. The decoration, which extends all along the external face, has been first engraved and then inlaid with niello. Three quadrangular panels of ornament with single line borders, are each separated by fields of multiple engraved lines (wrigglework); similar narrow fields at each end are differ in having open outer borders. The ring is of twelfth-century date.
