Description: | Three hair rings of blue faience and red jasper. These were a gift from Aberystwyth University. Such objects are sometimes considered as earrings. However, examples such as these have too narrow a cleft for this to slip onto the ear and are more clearly understood as either hair rings or token jewellery for the deceased, not intended for wearing.
