Description: | Gold posy ring. A plain exterior, inscribed inside: ??Liue in loue and feare the lord?? with the initials C above W M, standing for a husband and wife or betrothed couple whose surname began with C. This ring bears a maker??s mark WH, or possibly HM. It has not been possible to identify the maker??s mark. This inscription, and also the fashion for placing the initials in a triangle, continued well into the 18th century. There is therefore not enough evidence to confirm that this ring is pre-1706 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996. Inscription: Liue in loue and feare the Lord W C M | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Richardson, Andrew - Canterbury Archaeological Trust | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
