Description: | A finger-ring 21mm in diameter, with an even, unbroken band 4.8mm wide with a neat channel on the outer face close beside each edge, and a central dome to the section between them. This is a standardized type of posy ring, and on the outer face of the band, the convex surfave, there are three punched initial marks or word-spacer signs, not unlike small stars within punched boxes, and letters written in slanting or italic capitals in between. The motto is not decipherable since only the uprights or pothooks of the letters can plainly be seen. This ring is of early post-mediaeval date. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1550
