Wear piece of history, not just jewerly Rare Roman Imperial Digitabulum Finger Protector Ring Object Type: Thimble-type finger ring (Digitabulum) Period: Roman Imperial Period, ca. 1st–3rd century AD Material: Metal alloy (bronze) Function: Finger protection for sewing and related manual crafts Description This object can be associated with the digitabulum tradition used in the Roman Imperial period to protect the finger, and represents a functional thimble-type finger ring. Its thick-walled and short cylindrical form indicates a practical design intended to protect the finger against pressure during sewing and similar manual crafts. Dimensions: Weight: 15.32 g Height: 17.99 mm Outer Width: 21.9 mm Upper Inner Width: 17.8 mm Lower Inner Width: 14.9 mm Information The presentation and sales process is conducted in accordance with principles of transparency, scholarly consistency, and good faith. Within this framework, no object is knowingly presented as a copy or imitation. The object has been documented using high-resolution imaging equipment. Its physical structure and form remain unaltered, and only limited color-balance adjustments have been applied to ensure visual accuracy. Given that high-resolution imagery may affect the perception of scale, prospective evaluation should consider the images in conjunction with the stated measurements. All statements regarding dating, intended function, symbolic interpretation, and material identification represent high-probability academic assessments derived from typological analyses, comparative examples from museum collections, and expert opinion. Definitive verification would require advanced laboratory analysis, which falls outside the scope of the sales process. Upon request prior to shipment, a signed ownership document issued in the buyer’s name, together with an independent expert evaluation report, may be provided in PDF format.
