Weight: 36 grams

Ring size: approximately 10

Material: likely ethnographic coin silver allow (unmarked)

Condition: The ring shows age and wear consistent with traditional handmade jewelry. One side shows noticeable surface wear and casting erosion, visible in photos.

Not cleaned or fully tested for metal composition. Not attracted by magnet. A discreet surface test confirms a consistent silver-white color throughout the metal, with no yellow or red base-metal undertones visible. In the absence of an XRF gun, a chemical acid test was declined as it would require invasive scratching that would compromise the integrity of this historic piece.

Condition: Pre-Owned Good
Color: Silver
