The Antique Georgian Urn and Willow Mourning Ring

This exquisite ring features a mourning scene depicting a lady in a long flowing dress wrapping a garland around an urn on a plinth, standing underneath a willow tree's hanging branches. The scene is painted onto a white plaque, most likely ivory, which is set under a colourless crystal panel within a rectangular-shaped head. The highly detailed head joins to broad shoulders, which leads to a slim, rosy band. The back of the head reads Eliza Meadows ob: 21. Aug 1789 Age: 67. This ring, circa 1780s, has a small chip to one of the corners of the crystal panel, and there are a number of scratches. However, the ring is still in good wearable condition with usual marks commensurate with age. Please find the Expert Report (see the end image in the gallery) for more detailed information.
