The most obvious interpretation is that the ring symbolizes virtue or purity, as in the Niebelunglied.
But there are other options:
The legend of saint Kinga's ring, which might refer to wealth acquired through the salt trade, or even the Borromean rings which were used as a symbol of political allegiance (Borromean rings work in three's and there are three ladies with rings in the balneo section).

Quote:This beast has been proposed to be a pangolin, an armadillo and a mythical basilisk.Years ago I came across a reference to wolves being linked to storms and rainfall in medieval Germania, but I since lost it and can't find it now. The beast there could be a Wolf arching its back - anyone know of a reference in this fashion?
