Description: | A copper alloy posy ring of 16th-18th century date, with a three-word posy text inscribed in tall italic capitals with a five-pointed rosette of inverted wedges between each word, and a space. The ring is an even parallel band of copper alloy 5mm broad and 1.5mm thick, with a deep conventric groove near each margent of the outer surface and centrally domed in section, upon which surface the posie is written. The rosettes or stars appear to be hammered in, but the letters cut. They are (at least to the eye of this recorder) not actually legible, unfortunately.
