English: Report on potential Treasure for HM Coroner
2014 T297 Elmley Lovett, Worcs. Roman gold finger-ring of 'keeled' type. Narrow hoop of square-section, rather crudely shaped, that expands to flat triangular shoulders decorated with a pair of diverging grooves in the centre with a volute on each side. The flat ovoid bezel has a gold applique soldered to it, which enclosed a rubbed over bluish-grey intaglio, probably nicolo. The outer ring of the applique forms a collar, which is decorated with spaced punched hemispherical indents. The intaglio is very worn and the device is rather difficult to interpret. It may depict a standing bird with a long neck and head turned down to lie flat against its body, perhaps a stork (cf. Henig 2007, no. 669). However the 'bird' lacks feet, so it might alternatively show a standing amphora with a ?bird sat on its shoulder. Ext. d.: 17.6mm Int. d.: 15.1mm Wt.: 3.90g Date: c. 3rd century AD |
