Early 20th Century 18ct Gold Signet Ring with Griffin Intaglio

970Z
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A heavy gauge 18ct gold signet ring with an intaglio of a griffin (Half lion -half eagle) that was assayed in London in 1931.

The Welsh Dragon is a heraldic symbol that appears on the national flag of Wales. The oldest recorded use of the dragon to symbolise Wales is in the Historia Brittonum, written around AD 829, but it is popularly supposed to have been the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders.

This ring is a good size and would be ideal for anyone with Welsh connections.
