This gold signet ring is over 3000 years old and measures just 2cm in length.
It shows a man and a woman about to embark on a ship, complete with rowers and even a cox. It was purchased by #archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, who said that it was ‘very probably from the harbour town of Knossos’.

This ivory ring, crafted circa 1620 AD, depicts a detailed miniature crucifixion scene. Likely produced in either France or Spain, the piece demonstrates the devotional practices and craftsmanship of the early 17th century. Now part of the Albion Art Collection.
