Title
Early Medieval-Early Modern knotted finger ring
Description
English: Cast cu-alloy knotted finger ring dating from early Medieval-Modern times. It was made from one long square-sectioned wire of cu-alloy which was twisted in itself in places. The decoration on and around the bezel consists of two knots tied into each other and around the hoop with another knot tied around the hoop on either side - thus, four knots in all. The wire was only twisted in the loops of the knots, but not the hoop.

Knotteds finger rings are very difficult to date. Simple examples made from silver have been found in Early Medieval contexts, but this type of ring has been popular ever since, probably because the shape is easy to accomplish with a simple square-section copper, bronze or silver wire.
