Title
Post Medieval Finger Ring (Maker's Mark)
Description
English: TREASURE CASE 2014 T329:

A complete gold Post Medieval posy ring dating from the 18th century.

The finger ring is circular in plan and D-shaped in section. The outside face of the ring is decorated with a foliate design of scrolled leaves and tendrils. There are very slight traces of a pale blue coloured enamel within the design.

The interior of the ring has an inscription which reads "Your frend till death". At the end of this inscription there is a maker's mark of a letter 'C' within a square punch.

Notes:

With regard to similar finger ring holdings at the British Museum Judy Rudoe comments that "it is similar to the foliate decoration on a group of mourning rings, mostly with the original enamel: AF 1547-1553, all of which date to between 1720 and 1732".

With regard to the maker's mark Judy Rudoe comments that it is comparable to makers' marks on several British Museum collection finger rings (Reference numbers: 1961, 1202.445; 1961, 1202.47, AF 1264 and AF 1384) but that it is not identifiable in any standard works of reference and therefore cannot be used to date it.

Dimensions: Dimensions: External diameter: c.18.2mm, internal diameter: c.16.3mm, thickness of band: 0.9-1mm, width of band: 3.2mm. Weight: 2g.
