DATE: Victorian, c.1870

A cool Victorian signet ring set with an intaglio carved green agate heraldic crest depicting an outstretched arm, in full armour, holding a battle axe. The reverse has been reverse carved with the Latin words NON IMMEMOR, or "not unmindful". The shoulders feature attractive hand-chased X details, and it's modelled in 15 karat gold throughout - the head is articulated so can move around the central axis. Made in England circa 1870.
