I'm not so sure. There are multiple rings in the VMs illustrations. Finding the best interpretation for each ring depends upon connecting with the medieval meme that inspired its VMs representation. This is not always clear because of the obscurity of some historical data and the ambiguity of the VMs - sometimes artistically intentional.
If, the VMs critter is not an armadillo etc., but a version of the Agnus Dei, based on BNF Fr. 13096 f. 18, then the woman with the ring below might be an interpretation of Ecclesia, representing the Church. and its marriage to Christ.
The sleeping woman with the ring and the second representation with the cross have interesting similarities with the dreams of Colette of Corbie, as taken from her biography.
So, the problem of finding connections for the VMs illustrations is to establish what there is that they might be connected to.
There are pages with Christian religious interpretations, with Classical interpretations (the Muses, Ananke, and Philomena), and with pagan interpretations (Melusine of Luxemburg). The wide selection seems to be more observational, but Colette of Corbie was contemporary with the VMs C-14.
Even more has been revealed in the VMs cosmos and the zodiac sequence through the investigations of historical sources. Some of the relevant references here are also dated to the early 15th C.
