Title |
Post Medieval: Mourning finger ring |
||
Description |
English: A complete gold mourning finger ring, of probable Post Medieval dating (AD 1600 to AD 1800).
The hoop is slightly misshapen and is no longer circular in shape. The hoop is D shaped in cross section. The exterior of the hoop has been engraved with a pictoral device. This device consists of two engraved saltires with rounded ends. Between the saltires is a sub rectangular recessed section. Both the saltires and the sub rectangular area have been keyed for enamel, traces of white enamel still remain in the ends of the saltires. It is possible that this sub rectangular area may represent the skull and torso of a skeleton, with the saltires represent the arms and legs respectively. The rest of the hoop is plain and undecorated. The interior of the hoop bears an engraved inscription reading: 'Live holy and dye happy M P'. An unclear maker's mark is present after the inscription. The finger ring has an external diameter of 20.3 mm and an internal diameter of 18.0 mm. The hoop is 2.9 mm wide and 1.2 mm thick. It weighs 2.3 g. The finger ring is a dark yellow colour, with traces of white enamel present in the recesses. |
