A prototype of this ring was discovered near the northern aisle of St. Lawrence Church in Talfingen (Neu-Ulm, Bavaria). The original was made of gold and belonged to a noblewoman. Engraved on the outside is the name "TETRAGRAMMATON," representing the secret four-letter name of God, while inside are the inscriptions "INRI" and the Tetragram, crafted in a special graphic script.
This ring is based on a prototype that has come down to us from medieval England. It is engraved with only one word—"AGLA"—with its letters separated by crosses potent. This name is a Kabbalistic notarikon (acronym) meaning "Lord, Thou art mighty forever and ever." The word appears in formulas for protection against fires, fevers, and madness. It seems this ring, too, was intended to protect its wearer from evil and misfortune.
