Description: | Copper alloy finger ring. Bar Mitzvah ring, marking a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony. Cast band with a decorative design comprising six or seven cells with curving and engrailed edges; though possibly apt to receive enamel, there is no clear evidence for colorant remaining. Each panel appears to serve as the field against which letters appear, one per field. Those remaining clear are: M I Z P A, from which the commemorative function is inferred. Lightly squashed. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.Internal Diameter (inferred): c.16mm, Band Width: 6.4mm, Band Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 3.21gms.
