Temple ring

Temple ring

Temple rings (temporal rings) are part of Slavic medieval woman dress. Most were made of base metals - copper alloys or iron, though silver and even gold were occasionally used.

So-called because they are located on the skull, near the temples of the deceased woman or girl
