Ring Marking -- Need help ID'ing Please

Kathy found this ring near and old farm last weekend and we have been unable to figure out the markings inside. I am hoping someone here will be able to help us.
The place is know for lots of swimmers and some parties. So it may have nothing at all to do with the farm or who was there. It may have come from someone who was just there to have a good time.
Ring looks to be made of silver. Not magnetic or plated.
Thank you for any help.
Joe







I tried to draw the marks.

Hey Joe, (what are you doing with that gun in your hand) . . sorry I couldn't resist to sing a line from an old Jimmy Hendrix song, 'Hey Joe.' The cross on the ring is called a ANKH. It means the 'key of life' and was an Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life." I'll see if I can find the silver markings. Breezie

If silver (which looks most likely), its not a British hallmark. Just narrows the search a little

Thank you Breezie for the conformation on the ankh symbol. I was thinking the same meaning.

Kinda figured not British without a lion head.

I have been doing some searching in the 925-1000 forum and found the First box with the V or Y and the diamonds representing .800 silver on a piece from Iraq.
But I think the center is possibly a lotus flower symbol from Egypt.
The last would be an Arabic date code which I have not been able to find yet.

Still puzzled
