A
king would have worn this style of ring during the Saxon & Norman
periods. It would have been made from solid gold or other precious metals.
Metal workers were highly skilled and made many intricate jewellery items
including rings and brooches as well as ornate swords and helmets. The ring is
16mm diameter, expandable and is manufactured in traditional
lead-free pewter and gold plated.
The
card has a colour image of Offa King of Mercia on the front and historical information on the back.
