Gold ring versus child bracelet??

[edit]

It seems highly unlikely to be a bracelet without any of the Egyptian decoration or written hieroglyphic spills or prayers (especially for a child). Ancient Egyptians did not leave any personal belonging without decoration, a spell, or a prayer; or even a royal Cartouche. The plain gold ring seems more likely to resemble the golden rings shown in pictures with other offerings of precious metals, jewels, plants, incense and animals. Perhaps it was the method of standardizing gold for trade & handling before the invention of coins. Other related pictures are present in the art of the related category.--Ashashyou (talk) 07:27, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
