Slavic temple rings in extra small design.
These replicas of simple temple rings in small size are made according to historical models from the Middle Ages.The temple ring was a typical part of the costume of the Slavic peoples of the Middle Ages and was still in use there until the 12th century.
In the early Middle Ages, however, temple rings were worn as jewellery not only by the Slavs but also by the Franks and Alemannic, and are therefore frequently found in the southern German finds of the early Middle Ages.
Usually, the temple ring was knotted directly into the hair and worn in pairs or several along the temples, from which the name derives. However, temple rings could also be woven into a headband or scarf.
The temple ring measures 2.3 x 1.9 cm and comes as a pair.
Made of bronze and in real silver-plated.
