    Acquired on the UK and EU art market before 2000. From the private collection of a Surrey, UK, gentleman.

    Such rings, made of a twisted bar with smooth or spiral-shaped ends, are quite rare and are typically found in men’s graves. They may have been a sign of chieftainship. However, the small dimensions of the ring may suggest that the ring once belonged to an aristocratic child.
