MOSHEH OVED: GOLD DONKEY RING, CIRCA 1950

The band forming the legs, back and ears, the base reverse engraved, None has so much patience as I, ring size L, cased by Cameo Corner Ltd, 26 Museum Street, London, WC1

Footnotes

Mosheh Oved (1885-1958), the charismatic owner of Bloomsbury antique shop, Cameo Corner, was an authority on cameos, antique watches and clocks as well as being a writer, sculptor and poet. Whilst sheltering in the basement of Cameo Corner during the blitz, he modelled the first of his animal ring designs out of wax - a lamb on wobbly legs - in order to steady his trembling hands. Later he would add many more animals to his menagerie of rings in both gold and silver.
