Description: | A gold, postmedieval finger ring, with internal inscription. It is a mourning ring, inscribed:'NOT LOST BUT GONE BEFORE RC TS', and relates to the death of RC's partner. The hallmark (TS in a rectangular enclosure) is the maker's initials.
The cursive style of the legend, together with the skull ornament at the bezel dates it to the late 17th or early 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
