Curious Ring with 3D Head....
« on: April 20, 2016, 03:12:16 pm »
Ave!

Copper alloy; ring size 6/1.6gm

The head has been crudely attached to the ring. Any thoughts as to age and significance of the features of the head?

Thanks,

Kevin

Sort of looks European medieval to me.

But why this face? Who and what was the point?
