La pieza se presenta en excelente estado. Procedencia Hallado en Birdforth (Yorkshire y Humber) el 9 de abril de 2019 ~ Registrado en el Museo Británico (ref. PAS-DUR-2DCF41; ref. del tesoro 2019T493) ~ El lema no aparece exactamente en esta forma en English Posies and Posy Rings (1931) de Joan Evans, la colección de referencia de inscripciones registradas. Sin embargo, Evans recoge lemas muy similares, entre ellos variaciones de «A true friends gift» y «A trow lues token» («una muestra de amor verdadero»). Este anillo combina ambos, uniendo la amistad de uno con la «muestra» del otro.
