Title
jInscription on gold medieval finger-ringnort
Description
English: A medieval gold posy ring made from a flat band 4.31mm wide and 0.77mm thick. It is engraved with a black-letter inscription in French which reads Jatens tenir (I wait to hold [you]).

The inscription starts (and/or ends) with a group of three-pointed motifs, other motifs which are difficult to identify (from the photographs) and a sun with wavy rays. The words are separated by a five-petalled flower on a stem with leaves

The finger-ring dates from the fifteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
