A description and discussion of a rather showy gold, filigree-decorated finger-ring with a large bezel which may have been decorated with garnet. The finger-ring is now in the British Museum, but was formerly part of the collection of Redmond Anthony. It was not possible to pin-point a place of manufacture, but the filigree and overall design of the finger-ring fit best in a sixth or seventh century context. It has some odd features which may indicate that it was made in Ireland at a time when goldsmiths were beginning to copy foreign models and getting to grips with new techniques.
