Used in antiquity, these archer rings - or thumb rings - allowed archers to shoot their arrows accurately while protecting their finger. Of cylindrical in shape in the Far East, they later adopt a specific form in the Muslim world, with a flat-tipped ending. These archer rings, in addition to their practical use, had symbolic value. They could be worn at the thumb or hung at the waist to subtly show the qualities of the bearer in the art of war and hunting.
