Medieval Bronze Ring with rectangular head and ornamented...

Bronze ring with rectangular head and ornamented border – 10th–15th century AD A bronze ring with a raised rectangular head bounded by small strokes and reliefs creating a textured border. A small rounded element survives in the centre, whose nature cannot be established from the images. The relatively narrow hoop has a slightly irregular outline. Brown and green tones cover the surface, with deposits in the recesses and wear on prominent areas. The rectangular border gives the head a framed appearance, with small repeated marks adding texture around its central field. Its raised profile separates the decorated upper portion from the simpler band below. The small central element remains distinguishable through its rounded form, but does not retain enough diagnostic appearance for its composition to be named. Deposits lie within the surrounding recesses and wear affects the exposed high points. The original arrangement is not completed by inventing missing stones or additional coloured ornament.
