Title
2005 T147: Medieval gold posy ring from Sheriff Hutton area
Description
English: Small gold posy ring, slightly bent, the exterior keyed for enamel, none of which survives. The outside of the hoop is decorated with small engraved grooves, but there is no recognisable pattern. The inside bears the Latin inscription *DVE *DONA*A*QUI*LVPLEAT. The star at the beginning of the inscription retains all its light blue enamel, while the other stars have remains of blue enamel, as does the inscription. The exterior may have been enamelled in the same colour. The words of the inscription look like Latin, but they make no sense. There is no word 'LVPLEAT' for example. It may be that a pun or riddle was intended and that the words are perhaps contracted (though in such cases there is usually an abbreviation sign over the relevant letter).
