Title
Posy Ring
Description
English: Gold ring decorated with geometric pattern on the exterior containing significant remains of white enamel; the interior with the inscription in French +PRENES EN GRE followed by a flower. Both inscription and flower retain almost all of the original black enamel. The inscription may be translated as ˜Accept this willingly". Note: The use of an amorous inscription in French continues the tradition of the late middle ages, but the use of Roman capitals together with the shape of the ring and the geometric pattern on the exterior has 16th and early 17th century parallels.
