Casket Ring
This gold casket ring c1550-1600 is from Larg Tower which once
stood in Kirkcudbrightshire. It is engraved with a fleur de lys
pattern which continues onto the oblong casket. The casket appears
to be missing something, possibly a stone.
Giving and recieving rings was a long standing custom that
became very popular during the 16th and 17th century.
