Description: | Copper alloy finger ring. The band has a rectangular cross-section. The ring is in the form of a belt and buckle and has an relief inscription in roman lettering reading: VNO DIEV: VNO ROY: VNE FOY: V. The language of the inscription is derived from French and translates as: One God: One King: One Faith. (Translation by Laura Burnett, FLO)
Geoff Egan comments that although rings such as these are common from the 17th century to the present day, the dog French inscription may have Royalist Civil War-period associations dating this to the mid 17th century (c. 1642 - 1649)
