Description: | Gold finger ring with an inscription on the inside of the band reading:
GOD ABOVE KEEP US IN LOVE
The inscription is followed by a makers mark consisting of I G above an S , contained within a heart motif. There is another mark of a C within a circle. These marks have proved difficult to trace and therefore it has proved difficult to obtain an accurate production date for the finger ring. The ring is likely to date from the 17th or 18th centuries. The letterforms in the inscription are more likely to date to the 18th century (Redknap Pers. Comm.).
The outside face of the loop is plain and has faceted sides with a rounded central section. The edges of the finger ring are comparatively sharp. The ring is slightly distorted. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
