Old Tuareg silver ring

Old Tuareg silver ringThis very old Touareg silver mens ring would have been worn as a haj gift, presented upon the return from pilgrimage to Mecca. Unusual for such a ring, the red cabochon is glass rather than agate, perhaps an indication that the owner was not wealthy. Signs of wear consistent with its age and tribal origin. A beautiful ring, rich with meaning.
