Post-Medieval gold posy ring (bezel)
Description
English: A gold posy finger-ring with internal inscription filled with black enamel and detailed decoration on the outer surface also with inlaid black enamel. The finger-ring has an outer diameter of 19.55mm and an inner diameter of 16.60mm. The band is 3.28mm wide and 1.12mm thick. The ring weighs 2.36g. The ring band has a 'D' shaped cross-section. The outer surface is heavily decorated with foliate designs also in laid with black enamel. The ring is in extremely good condition although there are a few patches where the enamel is missing.

The inscription reads 'Let no callamitie seperat amitie ~ ' which means 'Let no calamity separate friendship'.
