Large "German Silver" Ring with Ridge from Ethiopia sudan 29mm long x 25mm diamterAntique Ethiopian "German Silver" ring with ridge (bicone shaped) with traditional stamped patterns. Super cool. Over 100 years old and silver in color. 40 42mm in diameter x 15mm thick. Rather than being rings for your fingers, these were worn braided in the hair on on a belt. On eof these rings would make a nice focal pendant in a necklace. "German Silver" is an old term for what is now commonly called Nickel Silver (a copper nickel zinc alloy).
