Description: Post medieval gold finger ring, 19mm diameter and 4.5mm wide and weighing 1.96grams. The ring is decorated on the outer surface with a frieze showing a fox (?) being chased by a hound. This is flanked by scrolls and two horned devils. The circle is completed by a decorative sub rectangular motif. The internal surface of the ring is inscribed with IN TIME MAY I. Discussion: The inscription is not recorded by Joan Evans but the use of capital letters and the fine renaissance style decoration suggests a date in the 16th or early 17th century.
