The IHS monogram stands for the name of Jesus Christ. The individual letters have been interpreted in different ways over the centuries, including as Iesus hominum salvator (Jesus the saviour of mankind) and as In hoc signo (in this sign you will overcome).
It is often found on Catholic objects. The monogram is also used as a logo by the Catholic order of Jesuits (Society of Jesus). Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), the founder of the order, chose the monogram IHS for his signet ring.
