The ring has always been a part of human life, and nothing demonstrates this better than the fact that during the castle renovation, archaeologists found numerous such jewels, which can now be viewed alongside many other items at the National Museum's archaeological exhibition within the framework of WIP’24. Most of the exhibited pieces date back to the 15th-17th centuries.
I ask Father János about what he thinks might be the charm/secret of possessing such ring(s), which makes us attached to these jewels? What symbolism do they carry?
