Mid 16th century AD. A very large silver-gilt octagonal-section ring with flared shoulders, hollow bezel with pellet border and waisted shield with crossed stave and scythe; below a later stamped 'broad arrow' and diagonal slash and three vertical lines above the shield, possibly an abraded 'VIII' (for King Henry VIII ?"). Cf. Oman, C.C. British Rings 800-1914, London, 1974, plate 52(E).28 grams, 33mm overall, 23.12mm internal diameter (approximate size British Z+3, USA 13 3/4, Europe 32.57, Japan 31) (1 1/4"). Property of a UK gentleman; acquired from a London gallery in the late 1980s; formerly from a private European collection, formed in the 1960s and 1970s. The shield with rounded base and waisted sides appears first in the Tudor period and is found, for example, on the arms of Anne Boleyn (1533-6"). This ring was made for a merchant and bears his arms, with the later addition of the 'King's Broad Arrow' stamp which may indicate that the merchant was associated with the Office of Ordnance, created by King Henry VIII in 1597, and tasked with organising the supply of guns, ammunition, stores and equipment to the King's Navy. The Office and Board used the 'broad arrow' to signify objects purchased from the monarch's purse; only later (from the 17th century) was its use extended to include government property. Very fine condition. A very large wearable glove ring. Rare.
