Has anyone seen this pattern before? The photos aren't great but I was just wandering if the pattern is period.

Are you asking about the ring or the thumb?

I think the thumb is probably original if I had to guess,

This is the "skull and sperm" pattern. (TR collectors have great nicknames for their pieces- mr. Wittman himself calls a certain dagger knot pattern a "cats anus")... thats all i could tell you about it really. I do not own one. Yes there were repros of it, like any ring pretty much.

The pattern is period, exists in some variants and is heavy faked.

With this pic it is impossible to say good one or not.
If original the skull should be a separate piece.

Yes this one is in the classifieds as you know , the adjustable band I am not so sure about ? Or is it just the snake pattern ?

Oh...with this pic i would say it is a bad one.
Pic is small and not sharp but the skull should be hollow.

Thanks Odal , more pics are in the classifieds section ..

The skull is a separate hollow piece. The seller is a honest guy in my experience and he got it from a vet, I like it.

Sorry, i still don`t like it.
Usually the skulls backside is open.
At least a very questionable ring for me.

"Always believe in the ring , not the story"

compare

Even snakes head is hollow.... interesting
