Comments: Ring with Akhenaten and Nefertiti as the deities Shu and Tefnut. ca. 1353â1336 BC, New Kingdom, Amarna Period.
From Easton: Ring - Used as an ornament to decorate the fingers, arms, wrists, and also the ears and the nose. Rings were used as a signet (Genesis 38:18). They were given as a token of investment with authority (Genesis 41:42; Esther 3:8-10; Esther 8:2), and of favour and dignity (Luke 15:22). They were generally worn by rich men (James 2:2). They are mentioned by Isaiah (Isaiah 3:21) among the adornments of Hebrew women.
