    This nonferrous ring was inside a jar of marbles I bought a few years ago.

    I was just going to put it on a translation page on redit because I thought maybe it was some sort of monogram, but looking at it rotated I'm almost certain it looks like a left facing figure with a hat/helmet holding something.

    Does this remind you guys of anything?
    Thanks.

    First impression from pic #1 only was that it looks like an iron Roman soldier's ring. But then I read 'nonferrous' & saw pix of it from the side. Construction looks modern & seems to have been cut off a finger that outgrew it, using modern tech.

    I tried fiddling with photo of the intaglio, including flipping it so the image would be seen the same way as the impression it makes. Don't know if this is the right way up, but it's the orientation that looks more like 'something' to me.

    Sometimes taking an impression helps to see what's really going on.
