800-year-old ring is full of mystery

AN 800-YEAR-OLD mystical ring unearthed in Warwickshire goes on public display for the first time tomorrow.

The precious gold and garnet band features a mysterious cryptic message, written in olde worlde French which has archaeology experts baffled.

It appears to say the words "Je suis une fleur" (I am a flower) and "amour" (love) but some of letters of the inscription are reversed and turned upside down.

Boffins from the British Museum believe it could be a coded token of affection between two lovers, or even a medieval spell.
