Post-medieval gold posy ring
The hoop is of flattened D cross-section. The outer surface is cast with a repeating pattern of ovals chased for translucent green enamel between narrow beaded collars covered in opaque white enamel; most of this enamel is now missing. The inner face of the hoop is inscribed with the text, in italic script:
Where this I give I wish to Live
The inscription is followed by a Roman capital letter B maker's mark on a shield-shaped punch.
The ring has been reduced on circumference and consequently the first letter of the inscription is incomplete.
