Design for a ring watch, with a raised watch case decorated with interlace bands and masks. The band of the ring is decorated with two cornucopia above which are shown two rams set in a strapwork bodice. Plate 32 is from a book of forty designs for rings by the goldsmith and engraver Woeiriot published in Lyon, France, after Woeiriot returned to France from a visit to Rome. The French edition, titled Livre d'aneaux d'orfévrerie de l'invention de Pierre Woeiriot Lorrain, appeared in 1561. An Italian edition, the Libro d'anella d'orefici del inventione de Piero Woeirioto di Loreno, appeared in the same year.
