Title
FINGER RING
Description
English:

A post medieval copper alloy ring with incomplete pipe tamper.

The hoop is oval in cross section and widens out to accomodate an oval bezel. Opposite this is what appears to be the remains of a pipe tamper with a short circular cross sectioned projection.

The two artefacts; finger ring and pipe tamper, were often combined in the 17th century, as gentlemen would apparently often loose their pipe tamper having had too much to drink. With such an artefact the user could wear his ring and conceal the tamper until needed (SUSS-373EA5).
