Description: | Post medieval gold posy finger ring, 19mm in diameter, 3mm wide and 1mm thick. The ring is in fair condition and weighs 1.62grams. The ring has a D shaped band and is decorated on two thirds of its outer surface. The central motif is a heart (with traces of black enamel) being clasped by two cuffed hands. Flanking this on both sides is a terminal consisting of a raised lozenge, a chevron and a pointed oval. There are traces of enamel in pale blue red and a greyish colour over all of the decoration. The inner surface is isncribed with FAVOR MY AFFECTION. Similar heart and hand motifs appear on 16th and 17th century rings, the lettering would favour a late 16th century date.
