Description
Tradition holds that this ring was found in a garden in Winchester, England. In the 14th century, rings were worn in large numbers-four or five on one hand. The symbols of the sun and moon and the clasped hands found on this ring suggest a sentimental relationship between a man and a woman.- Philip Nelson of Beechwood, England; (Dr. Herbert N. Bier, London).
