Medieval gold finger ring

A decorative gold ring with a projecting oval bezel of floriate flrom with 11 'petals' set with a small uncut (cabochon) almandine garnet. Each petal is engraved with a central dot. There is a small transverse ridge of each side of the bezel at the junction with the hoop, decorated with transverse engraved lines. The shoulders are engraved with short lines in a diaper pattern creating lozenges with central dots. The hoop is slightly misshapen and it has a flattened D cross-section, and tapers slightly from the bezel.
