Silver Sarcophagus Mummy Poison Ring

Vintage sarcophagus ring from over 25 years ago. It has a 925 sterling silver stamp on the inside. It’s a bit heavy. It can be for men or women. It is a size9 or 10 I believe? I used to wear it on my thumb.

I was thrilled when I found this all those years ago! It’s such a unique piece of art. I love the little mummy inside! :-)

I used some polish on it, but it definitely needs some jewelry cleaner. I might try to clean it up some more and get better pics.

A poison ring or pillbox ring is a type of ring with a container under the bezel or inside the bezel itself which could be used to hold poison or another substance; they became popular in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The poison ring was used to slip poison into an enemy's food or drink.

(This is a description only! This ring is only for aesthetic purposes and I am not suggesting using it for lethal reasons!)
