Victorian 18ct Gold Signet Ring with Carnelian Intaglio with a Welsh Dragon

887X
232 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An 18ct gold signet ring that has been set with a shield shaped carnelian with an intaglio of a Welsh Dragon. Below are the words Bvab bach which seem to be Welsh and may mean “a little scary” but I would be thrilled if anyone can enlighten me as to the real meaning!  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.
