An 18th century gold MEMENTO MORI skull ring, of D-shaped cross section, the exterior engraved with a skull (depicted by eye sockets, naval sockets and line of teeth below), the inner band with maker’s mark ‘I E’ and engraved ‘E I obt Aye 9th 1744 AEge 36’ (sic), (all enamel lost), ring size approximately S (band slightly oval). £400-£600 --- The 17th century was a time of high mortality and this precipitated a taste for Memento Mori jewellery. The phrase translates as ‘remember you must die’. The constant reminder that one will sooner or later die and face a final judgement, was an encouragement to live a virtuous life. The Rev. Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) preached “It is a great art to die well and to be learned by men in health... Place your coffin in your own eye, dig your own grave.” This Memento Mori jewellery was decorated with images of skulls, skeletons, death heads, grave diggers tools and hour glasses. By the late 17th century, these had merged with the trend for memorial jewels, commemorating the death of an individual, the design simplified into a gold band with a skull motif to the exterior and the initials and date of death of the deceased inscribed to the interior.

The Wars of the Roses Hoard: A late Medieval gold iconographic ring depicting The Holy Trinity, circa 1470-1480, the flat sub-rectangular bezel carrying the incised design of the figure of Christ on the cross, wearing a loin cloth, his arms raised, beneath the bearded head of God the Father, between radiating markings symbolising the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove’s wings, the figures within an engraved line border; to each shoulder six incised droplets, representing drops of blood from Christ’s wounds, arranged three over two over one, with traces of black enamel, ring size L. £4,000-£5,000 --- The focus of Christian devotion underwent a tonal shift during the Medieval period, from a focus on the Triumphant Christ - a battle-brave warrior, towards the suffering Christ and a focus on the pain he endured in order to reconcile human souls to God. This affective piety was influential on the newly founded religious orders, such as the Franciscans, who focused on the humanity of Christ and also reflected a new focus on pastoral care by the Church. As a result of this shift, one of the most common devotions of the late Medieval period was to Christ’s wounds. In Medieval art and iconography this devotion is seen in the images depicting Christ’s wounds and droplets of his blood (such as in this iconographic ring). Jasmine Jones interprets The Commandment, a treatise written by Richard Rolle, a 14th century hermit: “Prayerful pondering of the wounds will call tears to spring in the heart, kindling the fire of the Holy Spirit therein. This fire of love will burn so brightly that the soul will be purged of sin making is as pure as gold refined by the furnace.” Literature: Jones, Jasmine, ‘Three Christological Devotions, Part 1: Wounds’, in Introducing Medieval Christianity, 1st July 2020.
Los 92
A late Medieval gold posy ring, circa 1400-1500, of broad flattened cross section, engraved with black letter inscriptions to both the inner and outer surfaces, the external inscription reading ‘MIEU EN VOU” translating as ‘Best in/on you’, and spaced by flowers and foliage within undulating design, the internal inscription reading ‘A BON AM’ translating as ‘For good Love’, the words space by stylised foliate sprays, with traces of white enamel, ring size (leading edge) approximately K. £3,000-£4,000 --- Charles Osman states that black letter inscriptions begin to appear in the middle of the fourteenth century and remained in favour until the reign of Henry VIII. (1491-1547). The use of Old French for inscriptions was much in use in the 14th and 15th century rings, but virtually disappeared with the end of black letter. Old French wording fits with the enthusiasm at this period for Heraldry, embracing ideals of courtly love and chivalric values. Literature: Charles Osman: British Rings 800-1914, 1974, pub. Rowman & Littlefield, see pages 39-41.
