This spring, the King Baudouin Foundation purchased via the Christian Bauwens Fund a golden cluster ring with diamonds at The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht. It concerns a very rare ring from the 17th century with an engraved portrait of a young man accompanied by an enamel figurine in the case of the ring. The interpretation of the enameled figurine is unclear but presumably refers to a secret love garden.
