    Any input on this ring please? Just brass.
    Several inscribed pictures of people- a crowned beardy man?, a scorpion type bug?, other figures.
    Modern Egyptian tourist junk or more interesting?
    Someone has dumped acid on it even though a blind man in a dark room could tell it’s brass :rolleyes:. Just wondering if it’s worth the time to try to polish the damage out. Thanks for looking :)

    What is the diameter, K?
    If it is small, it could be Madurese or Javanese. Scorpions are considered protective against black magic etc there.

    Yes, it’s fairly small. Just fits on my little finger.
    If it’s protective against black magic it’s a keeper! Need all the help I can get…..

    It looks like it is 18mm? Too big for my ring finger, so it could fit an Indonesian man. I'll check my husband's ring finger.:hilarious:

    My fingers have been redesigned by several horses so probably not a good guide!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I don't know the age, but do find it interesting!

    Agreed. I really like it. Something very different!

    Maybe all scorpions? My imagination was working overtime seeing a bearded man I think!

    That too! I had some great rude ignorant rhino of a horse firmly plant his over sized hoof on my big toe about a month ago. It’s gone black. I would share a photo with you but no one needs to see that.
    I also have a redesigned little toe where I stubbed it on the door frame about 15 years ago so I can’t even blame the horse. An overlapping fracture now makes it an interesting shape. I don’t want to remember how much it hurt :arghh:
    Enough about toes!!.
