This comprehensive guide fills a critical void in the available
literature regarding ancient finger rings comprised of base metals
and low grade silver alloy. Increasingly, these modest relics of
times past are being unearthed and sold through a growing
assortment of worldwide venues. Unfortunately, the accompanying
descriptions are often inaccurate and unreliable in the extreme. To
date, the available reference material for researchers and
collectors has been almost entirely restricted to the historic and
"high end" pieces of the past, i.e., the gold and precious stones
of royalty and the very wealthy. The public has had next to nothing
with which to evaluate these common rings. This guide not only
examines the physical structure of these pieces, but also the
images and symbols which are such important elements of these
ancient artifacts. As such, this book is an invaluable guide not
only for merchants and collectors, but also researchers, students
and educators regarding the types of ancient rings so conspicuously
missing in the available literature.
