Late 16th century AD. A Shakespeare's 'Rose Theatre' type silver gusseted finger ring with impressed Middle French inscription 'PENCES POVR MOYE DV' (Think of me, God willing) and lightly incised motif of a heart pierced by two arrows. See very similar ring in the collection of the Museum of London found during excavations of the Rose Theatre on Bankside, built in 1587; accession number SBH88[183]. (https://collections.museumoflondon.org.uk/online/object/119520.html"). 3.03 grams, 20.74mm overall, 15.05mm internal diameter (approximate size British I, USA 4 1/4, Europe 7.44, Japan 7) (3/4"). Ex Nicholson collection, Cambridgeshire, UK; formerly the property of her father, thence by decent. The letters ‘DV’ probably stand for the Latin words ‘Deo Volente’ (God willing"). [No Reserve]
