[Bonetools] Ivory ring (Manuel Altamirano)

[toumai]

Hello Marloes

I have recently studied a couple of bracelets or rings similar to the 
one you show in the picture. They date to the Middle BA (ca. 2000-1700 
cal BC) from the Southeast of Spain. The thing is that this type of 
ornament was always made from elephant ivory, except for those made from 
copper, argent or gold, being a typical kind of jewel during the Middle 
BA (especially within the so called Argaric Culture Groups) in Southeast 
Iberia. You can see a picture of one of them here, Plate 3 (although the 
paper is in Spanish):
