Description: | Post Medieval gold finger ring, 21mm in diameter and 5mm wide with a weight of 3.28grams. The ring is in a poor condition having been squashed, but consists of a plain band with a slightly raised skull motif. The inner side of the band is inscribed:In mathems, [..] ob28May96[..]t82.From what I can see this should read:Jn Mathews E [Esq]. . ob 28 May 96 . .t [aetat] 82The abbreviated date '96 is 1696, and the first name is probably John, abbreviated to Jn.
