Description:These rings may have been the closures for a cloth or leather bag placed at the Cunning Woman’s left hip. One ring is made of bronze, and the smaller ring is made of iron. The iron ring has corroded and has become fused to the bronze ring. Remains of woven cloth are visible in the corrosion.
