I don't know if this find belong to this category, but for me it is mind blowing. This ring is more then 500 years old. And it is possible that it was made for a child , beacause my wife can't put it on the small finger. I hope you like it. Peace ✌️

What is the story behind its discovery?
The story even tho I am not good at telling stories goes like this: If you saw my last post on the venetian coin from 16 century , I found it on a piece of land that had an oldest church in my place , some remains of roman pottery whas found there and even things from nheolitic period , but that is all by local word, my imagination sparked and I had to check it out, so After I found that Coin and this ring I think some of the stories are true, and I will be going there again , it is not far for me to go , but it is a very hard terrain so it is not easy . I always go with my dog , and sometimes he helps me to find the best way😉. Rings like this where given to children for protection from curses and such. That was in ancient times and early middle, in dalmacia probably 7-9 century , more symbolic and religous thing than of status.
