[QUOTE="Dale_H, post: 246561, member: 4889"][ATTACH=full]75857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]75858[/ATTACH] Hi everyone! I'm completely stumped by this satyr or devil ring I recently purchased, as was the seller. I understand it to be a British metal detecting find but have no idea how old it is, nor have I been able to find anything similar online. The metalwork on the face is quite delicate, yet the overall construction is fairly crude. The odd "giraffe pattern" on the band is unlike anything I've seen before. I don't suppose it has any great value but I'd love to find out a bit more about it. Could it be Roman? Medieval? It does shine gold where there are a couple of little scratches but I don't know what metal it is - it looks more like copper at first glance. Any suggestions much appreciated. Dale.[/QUOTE]
