Bronze dizainier, bezel with the profile of the Virgin Mary
17th century (oxidation, one grain missing)
D. 3.3 cm
The dizainier, a ring used to recite a prayer, particularly at Angelus time, is a shortened version of the rosary. This ring, whose bezel depicts a profile of the Virgin and not a cross as is more commonly customary, may have belonged to a nun who wore it as part of her habit.
