Gold finger ring with a rectangular bezel engraved with a figure of St Margaret bearing a cross-headed staff, the end resting on the jaws of a dragon at her feet. There are traces of enamel. The shoulders are decorated with four leaves. The hoop is inscribed on the exterior in black letter 'en bon an' (a French good luck message for the New Year). This is likely to have been a New Year gift, intended to protect the wearer from harm.
