Gilt bronze, size 8 3/4. Rounded band, 3.0mm flaring to the stepped shoulders which rise to a garish oval section pyramid form which was fashionable in the 14th century only. Most are mounted with a stone. See our FNS8954. This one is simply rounded at the top undoubtedly in respect to the constraints of the class system in which overstepping one’s place could draw scrutiny and even repercussions. Some wear from use and light surface texture from burial. Professionally refurbished with the heavy 24karat gold overlay restored. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
