Perhaps no object connects us with the past in such an intimate way as a ring. For thousands of years, rings have made statements about those who wear them, about their social standing, political affiliations, religious beliefs, about their tastes or inner emotions. A ring silently offers a wealth of information about its owner, there for all to see. As we slip an ancient band onto our finger, we cannot help but wonder whose actions we are echoing, what feelings we share with that vanished life. This charming bronze ring is the height of simplicity. Its empty surface is like a blank page upon which a magical tale might be written.
