Gorgeous Ring

Is this beautiful or what? The Anglo-Saxon ring from Mercia has been dated it to the early ninth century. It was discovered in the 19th century near Berkeley Castle where it stayed in a private collection. Now archeologists are doing excavations around the castle to unearth a 6th century monastery. This has renewed interest in the area so the collection owners have opened up viewing to the public. The ring is one of the items on display.
