"Memorial Ring" is a c. 1937 watercolor design by Lillian Hunter for a ring. Hunter (1855-1995) depicted the ring in three views: the top, the side, and the bottom, with the top view showing a scene of people gathered together. The design features a circular bezel set in an oval ring band, creating a miniature picture frame for the scene inside. This delicate watercolor painting is a testament to Hunter's talent for capturing the beauty of everyday objects.
